REGULATIONS
ISSUED FOR THE GUIDANCE OF THE EXECUTIVE COMMISSIONERS,
GENERAL REGULATIONS.
1. The Exhibition will be opened on or about the 1st May, 1886, and will
remain open for a period of about six months.
2. Subject to the conditions stated in Regulations 3 and 4, the objects to
be exhibited are left entirely to the discretion of the Governments participat-
ing, in so far as they illustrate the resources, products and manufactures of
the Colonies and the Indian Empire. For reasons stated elsewhere, no
Classification has been attempted by the Royal Commission; but each
Government is invited to classify its own collection.
3. All fulminating and explosive substances and all dangerous substances
are absolutely forbidden to be sent, but they may be represented by models
or dummies,
4. Spirits, oils, essences, corrosive substances and generally all substances
which might spoil other articles or cause inconvenience to the public, can
only be received in substantial and suitable vessels of small size.
5. There will be no charge for space.
6. Motive power and water will be supplied free of cost, provided that
notice by letter or cable is given before the 1st fanuary, 1886, Foundations
can be laid, under the superintendence of the Secretary to the Royal Com-
mission, upon requisition from the Executive Commissioners, with their
order for payment. The work will be done at the expense of the Commissions
requiring it ; and full particulars of the size, character and intended position
of machines should be given.
7. As the allotments of space have in most cases been already notified to
the Colonial and Indian Governments, no further applications can, except
under special circumstances, be entertained. Applications to exhibit from
any individual or firm will be referred to the Executive Commissioners for the
various Colonies and for India.
8. The Executive Commissioners apnointed by their respective Govern-
ments will have the entire control of the arrangements of the goods
lviii Colonial and Indian Exhibition.
exhibited in their respective sections, subject to the conditions stated in
Regulations 9 to 16.
9. At least one main passage of not less than fifteen fect must extend
throughout each Court from end to end; and, where doors or openings occur,
passages of not less than ten feet in width must be provided communicating
with the main central passage. The necessity of providing adequate space
for allowing the proper inspection of articles exhibited need scarcely be
insisted upon.
10, Signs or name-boards should be placed parallel with the main
passages, that is, parallel with the frontage of the respective stands. It is
suggested that they should be black with gold letters, Care should be taken
to prevent any interference with the electric lighting arrangements.
11. All handbills, printed matter, &c., connected with exhibits, and
intended for gratuitous distribution, should be duly authorised by the
Executive Commissioners for each country, who will find the Secretary to the
Royal Commission ready to co-operate with them.
12, It is specially requested that no cases or goods should exceed the
height of ten feet : this rule is not intended to prevent the erection of any
special trophies ; but designs to scale of all trophies should, previous to their
erection, be notified to the Secretary to the Royal Commission, 4
13. As the Exhibition Buildings are leased by the Royal Commission, no
alterations affecting the structure of the buildings as regards the floor, walls
or roofing can be permitted without special application to the Secretary to
the Royal Commission.
14. Executive Commissioners will be required to provide all necessary
attendance for keeping the stands and exhibits in their sections properly
cleaned and in good order: all stands should remain uncovered during the
hours the Exhibition is open to the public.
15. It is probable that the hours during which the Exhibition will remain
open to the public will be from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. on all days except Wednes-
days and Saturdays, when the hour of closing will be 11 p.m. These
arrangements are, however, subject to alteration. The Exhibition will not
be open on Sundays.
16. No Exhibit may be removed from the Exhibition Buildings until the
close of the Exhibition, without the permission of the Executive Commis-
sioners, countersigned by the Secretary to the Royal Commission ; ap
consequently no selling, with a view to removal prior to the c!’
Exhibition, should be allowed.
17. Noarticle exhibited may be photographed, drawn, copied or ™ yoduced
in any manner whatsoever, without the special sanction of the Executive
Commissioner of the section ; this sanction should be notified to the Secretar)
to the Royal Commission.
18, All packages containing goods intended for exhibition must have
painted on them the distinctive mark C. |. E., together with the name of the
Colony from which they are sent. They must in all cases be consigned to
the Executive Commissioner of the Colony from which they are sent.

BOARD OF TRADE,

Sir,
Referring to your recent letter, asking, on behalf of the Royal Com-

The decoration of the wall of the entrance hall
in the Exhibition Road is by panels in Impasto
ware, and forms an entirely new departure in
ceramics. The paintings are executed in coloured
elx7s, which become incorporated with the body
of the material in the subsequent firing and
giazing. These panels are formed of slabs of
large size, and the joints follow the leading lines
of the design as in stained glass, thus avoiding
the unsightly straight jointing which is a neces-
sity of ordinary tile panels. The subjects of
the decoration are as follows: Two panels with
& broadly decorative treatment of peacocks,
eagles, we. suggested by Eastern art; two
Pilaster panels of Indian design, and three lu-
nette panels with appropriate border aud span-
drills, representing in figure subjects, England
in her manufactures, Australia in her agricul-
ture, and India in her pottery ; the whole being

Boiler heated by gas. In this boiler the heating
surface is almost entirely brass, the tubes being
80 placed that the steam is well dried, resulting
in economy in gas. ‘The burners are on the
Bunsen principle, and are arranged so that a
greater or less number may be in use at a time
according as more or less steam is required;
thie is accomplished very simply and efficiently
by regulating cocks.

IMPERIAL STONE CO., Limited,
East Greenwich.—Imperial stone is an
article used for the manufacture of steps, land- |
ings, pavings, copings of various designs, and
aehessily for stonework dressings connected
with buildings. This stone is composed of
crushed granite and Portland Cement, the frac-
tural dust being very carefully eliminated by
washing before being mixed with the cement,
the material is then placed in moulds and com-
pressed by machinery. It has been found that
stone made artificially in this manner stands
the severe test of a London atmosphere success-
fully. It is in some instances mixed with
ous pigments in order to obtain the colour
contrasts desired by the architect, great care
being exercised to use only such as will not
injure the cement. The stone is in all cases
subjected to a bath of silicate of soda and other
indurating processes.

Streets, and Cornhill, and demolished about
1608. The water was supplied by means of
wooden -pipes laid under ground, communi-
cating with a spring at some distance off, and
flowed from the mouths of four grotesque
masks, supporting figures of prentices and
maids. The standard was the point from which
distances of localities around London were
then reckoned.

oors of basements, churches, and schools, and
also because of their imperviousness and
economy in cost of laying.

of fire immediately hardens the: paint. As the
paint is capable of being ground perfectly
smooth, and readily mixes with almost any
colour, it is in every way suitable as a deco-
rative paint for indoors or out.

GARDEN ILLUMINATIONS.
Tue Grounds of the Exhibition are lit up by about 9700 electric glow lamps of 5 and 10
candle-power, with a few 20 candle lamps on the Band Stands and on the verandah of tho
Conservatory. \
These lights, many of which are brilliantly coloured, have been placed partly on the per.
manent Museum buildings and on the Conservatory, 0 as to bring out the tracery of these
buildings, and to give an appearance of vastness to the grounds, and partly on tho balustrades,
round the flower beds, and in the trees and ornamental water of the gardens, the general effect
being a charming arrangement of light and colour, The lights can be turned on or off instan-
taneously either by sections or altogether.
Mesars. W. & J. Galloway & Sons, of Manchester, are the contractors for the installation and
maintenance of the whole of these garden illuminations,
The installation consists of 23 circuits, each of which is made up of eight parallels of lam;.
connected in series, the electromotive force of the 5 and 10 candle-power lamps being 25 volta,
and that of the current at the machines 220 volts.
Each of tuese circuits is connected to the main leads from the dynamos by means of a
large switch-board, specially designed to allow of any circuit being connected to any dynamo
machine.
The lamps are distributed as follows :—
I, Conservatory . . . + ¢ «6 + ¢ 1500 lamps,
If. Eastand West Quadrants . . . . « «» 1600 ,
III, Upper Gardens, Trees and Balustrades and Bund Stands. 1550 ,,
IV. East and West Arcades,and Trees. : ; - 2200 ,,
V. Lower Garden, Centre Pond, Side Ponds, Beds and Pendants 2500 ,,
VI. Albert Statue . dete ° : : ° - 868 ,,
The total current required is about 800 ampéres.
The current is obtained from four of Messrs. Elwell-Parker’s self-regulating dynamos, cach
of which can supply a current of 250 amptres with an electro-motive force of 250 volts when
running at 300 revolutions.
The power required to drive these machines is supplied by a pair of compound horizontal
engines, placed at the west end of the Canadian Court. These engines will each develop
200 H.-P., at a speed of 110 revolutions, and have been specially designed by Mesars. Galloway
to meet the requirements of electric lighting.
The three large Siemens’ dynamos, which were used during the Invention Exhibition, and
the Goodfellow's and Mathews’ three-cylinder engines, have also been retained, and will form a
reserve in case of any accident to the new plant.
Besides the glow-lamp illumination, 15 arc lamps have been placed on three masts, so placed
as to light up the whole of the grounds, even should the general illumination be put out. These
arc lamps are new, from a Victoria Brush F. 8 dynamo, driven by a third Galloway engine,
similar to the pair used for the glow lamps, and which is placed in the West Quadrant. This
engine also drives the dynamo for the fountain lamps.

In the Omamental Water, in the Grounds, Fountains of various designs have been arranged,
which are illuminated after dark by means of powerful electric arc lamps.
The following is a description of the means by which the effects shown by the Fountains aro
roduced :—
, The water for supplying the Fountains is delivered direct from the West Middlesex Water
Company’s Hammersmith pumping station. The main enters the Exhibition Grounds from the
north-west, and is conducted to the four water-meters, on the western sido of the centre basin,
which register the quantity of water consumed. From this point a large main leads to the
central “island,” where the principal jets rise, The water is supplied at a pressure of about
seventy pounds to the equare inch, which is sufficient to carry it to a height of 120 feet.
The island is reached by means of a subway, and through this are laid tho cables for the
electric current and the signalling wires.
The whole of the jets are worked by ecrew-valves and levers placed inside the island.
The Fountain display is directed from the clock tower at the south side of the Garden, the
* operating-room” being below the dial of the large clock. The operator controls not only the
working of the jets, but also the colour and power of the lights, by a series of electric signals,
arranged on a key-board with 60 keys, in five rows of 12 each, which busca with bells
and indicators inside the island.
The machine-room inside the island is an apartment 21 feet square. Its sof being only
5 feet 8 inches from the floor, renders it difficult for the operators to stand upright in it; and
there is an outer passage all round which is only 4 feet 6 inches high.
The Fountains are set in action by secrew-valves fixed vertically on the different branches
attached to the water main. The large jets, which send the water to the greatest heights, are
worked by pixg-valves and levers, so as to allow an instantaneous start and stop, which causes a
shower of spray. There are, altogether, eleven wheels and six levers.
In the roof are seven circular skylights of very strong glass, one of them being exactly in the
centre, the others forming a hexagon about it. Under each of these skylights is a wooden stand,
on which is fixed a hand arc lamp of 8000 candle power. Over each arc is a lens, which concen-
trates the light on the jet. There are also eight windows in the roof of the outer passage under
each of which is an arc light and reflector. When the order “Lights on” is received, the five
arcs are set going, the result being to powerful’, illumine the jets of water internally, while the
dropping water or spray is illuminated externally by the surrounding beams of light, thus pro-
ducing a glistening-effect. There is alsoa lamp opposite the cascade, the light being concentrated
by a plano-convex lens. The current for these lamps is supplied by a Victoria Brush machine,
driven by the Galloway engine in the West Quadrant. The usuul staff is fifteen—one man to
work the valves, thirteen td attend to the lights, and one to watch and reply to the bella. | They
cannot see what is going on outside, their only means of knowing that all is right boing the
signals from the clock tower.. The quantity of water sent up averages 70,000 gallons an hour;
but when all the jets are going at once, 1000 gallons are used in fifteen eeconds.

THE “OLD LONDON” STREET.
DESCRIPTION OF THE STREET REPRESENTING “OLD LONDON” IN THE
COLONIAL AND INDIAN EXHIBITION AT SOUTH KENSINGTON, 1886
(ERECTED FROM THE DRAWINGS AND UNDER THE SUPERINTENDENOE
OF GEORGE H. BIRCH, ESQ. A.R.1.B.A., LATE HON. SEC. LONDON AND
MIDDLESEX ARCHAOLOGICAL SOCIETY).
Tats atreet is composed of various houses grouped together to form a quaint and picturesque
thoroughfare of the normal width of an old London street, the dates of the various buildings
being as diversified as are their size and appearance, and the object that has been held steadily
in view, is to ehow the City of London as it existed before the Great Fire of 1666 swept it from
off the face of the earth. ‘hese houses are no pasteboard and painted canvas delusions, but
honest structures, They represent no fanciful restorations from written records, but are faithful
delineations from actual drawings derived from authentic sources.
_ _ Areference tu the accompanying plan will enable the visitor to identify the different >-uses
and structures which are numbered as in the following description.
Entering from the Central Avenue immediately in front of the Indian Palace stands one
of the City gatea—Bishopagate, reduced in proportion and flanked by the City wall; this gate
(not one of the original gates of which there were but four) was broken through the ar-cient
walla, the peculiar Roman manner of building with courses of tiles being shown on the lower
part; theae walla might have been built during the 400 years of Roman occupation, but more
probably after their withdrawal and before the tradition of the Roman manner of building
had died out; above the arch on each aide are the arms of the City of London and
the arms of the Bishopric, and immediately over the gate in a niche stands the statue
of one of the bishops, William the Norman, to whom the City was particularly indebted,
for by hia good offices, all those rights and privileges and immunities which the City had
inherited from Roman times and which had been confirmed and strengthened under the Saxon
Kings, were recunfirmed by the Conqueror, Once a year the City fathers went in solemn
procession to his tomb in St. Paul’s Cathedral, and testified by this act their grateful recognition.
Above, on the towers which flank the gateway, are the statues of Alfred who wrested the City
from the Danes, and of hia son-in-law, Aldred Earl of Mercia to whom he committed the govern-
ment thereof.
Passing through the gate the corresponding statue, that of William the Norman, is seen
representing St, Erkenwald, the Fourth Bishop of London, a.p. 675, after the re-constitution
of the see and re-establishment of Christianity by St. Augustine, This Erkenwald was a great
favourite with the Londoners, and after his canonization, his shrine at St. Paul’s, one of the
richest in the kingdom, was for many centuries an object of great veneration. The ground floor
on each aide shows on the right a debtors’ prison, and on the left an ordinary lock-up, and
bey nd are the staircases to the first-floor. After passing through the gateway, the firat house
on the left ia the “ Rose Inn” (No, 1), Fenchurch Street, curious as having ita front covered with
small cut slates, inatead of the ordinary lath and plaster and timber construction usual in London.
The next house (No. 2) atood in Leadenhall Street, and was known as the “ Cock Tavern,”
the representations of this house, of which there are many, represent it after the gable had been
removed, and a flat coping aubstituted, but in this instance its pristine condition has been
reverted to, Following in order is a block of three houses (Nos. 3, 4 and 5) formerly existing in
Fleet Street, towards ‘lomplo Bar, on the south side, and known by the name of the “ 'I'hree
Squirrels,” now Mosara, Gosling’s Bank. This system of the houses being known by certain
signs irrespective of the avocations, or change of owners, was universal. The “Marygold” at

GROUND FLOOR PLAN.
Old London. Ixxxv
Co., and the “Golden Bottle,” Fleet Street, \icsers. Hoate’s, ate all instances of a survival of
® nomenclature the origin of which has been s0 entirely at variance with the avocations of
the subsequent owners.
The house (No. 6), is a copy of the one which stood at the corner of Fleet Street and
Chancery Lane, and was traditionally known as the “ Isaac Walton’s House.” “ Vir et Piscator
optimus,” but there is a doubt that tradition is this case was tradition only, as the actual house
was two doors further to the west; but apart from this, the house itself was a magnificent
specimen of an ordinary citizen’s house in Elizabeth’s reign, and was for many years a conspicuous
ornament to Fleet Street, and in close contiguity to those well-known haunts of the wits of thit
period, the “ Apollo” and the “ Devil” Taverns,
Set back a little from the main line of the atteet iu order to give prominénve to Walton's
house, and to give it the appearance of a corner house, are two unpretending wooden structures
(Nos. 7 and 8) which formerly stood hard by the ancient church of St. Ethelburga, Bishopsgate
Street, and were the ordinary type of hundreds of others in the old city, a shop below, and a
solar or chamber above.
Standing prominently in advance of these is the old tower of a church, which, although not
strictly modelled from that of All Hallows, Staining—differing only in having a larger traceried
window—resembles in its general form and outline many others in which our forefathers were
wont to worship; most of these churches were small, for the parishes attached to them were
also diminutive, and this tower type, with bold octagonal staircase turret on one side, was
almost universal; there were exceptions in which the towers had lofty pinnacles at each corner,
like the present St. Sepulchre’s, Holborn, or the more modern re-buildings by Wren, of
St. Michael’s, Cornhill, and St. Mary Aldermary; and the curious arched superstructure
with its five lanterns of St. Mary-le-Bow, or de Arcubus, and the very fine spire of St. Lawrence
Pountney; but the generality of the churches possessed towers similar in character to the one
depicted here, }
The water conduit (erected by Messrs. Judson & Co.), the pillory, and the stocks placed in
the open space in front of the church tower are quaint and interesting features of the everyday
life of our forefathers. This conduit stood at the junction of the four ways, Cornhill, Bishopsgate,
Leadenhall Street, and Gracechurch Street, and was known as the “Standard upon Cornhill,”
and a well-known point for calculating distances from. The original had eight jets of water
proceeding from the top of the Corinthian capital, but as the space at disposal was so limited these
extra jets had to be omitted.
Next to the church, and fronting down the street, is a portion of Middle Row (No. 9), which
stood in the Strand, just outside Temple Bar, and was known as Butchers’ Row; these houses
well represent the overhanging of the stories so prevalent in London where the groundfloor
space was very limited, additional room above being obtained by these means at the expense of
light and air. Butchers’ Row itself and its quaint structures were swept away when Alderman
Pickett, with a public spirit far in advance of his times, made one of the first public improve-
ments by widening this portion of the Strand, leaving the Church of St. Clement Danes
isolated in the midst of a large oval. These houses are historically interesting, as in one of them
the Gunpowder Plot conspirators met.
Elbow Lane.—The site at this point considerably narrows, from 70 tv 30 feet, and the
houses are not continued on parallel lines, in order to break a perspective which would have
been too long for a picturesque effect, and also in order to obtain that sinuosity so characteristic
of London streets.
Next on the left is a fine large house of two gables (No. 10), which stood in this Middle
Row, Strand, and was known as the French Ambassador’s house, or the Duke of Sully’s, also
Monsieur Beaumont’s, both ambassadors here from the most Christian King to the Court of
St. James’. This Duke de Sully was the famous Henri de Béthune, the wise and popular
minister to Henri Quartre, King of France and Navarre. That this house was probably occupied
by him there can be little doubt; not only from the commonly accepted tradition, but from the
fact of its being decorated with badges of the De Béthunes, the French crown and fleur-de-lis
and two hands grasping one another in a true “ entente cordiale.”
The next (No. 11) is a low structure of wood and plaster, and has been modelled from an
old engraving representing portion of Bishopsgate Street. |

Ixxxvi Old London.
Beyond this is an old house (Nos, 12 & 13) which was in Goswell Street, of the date of
Elizabeth’s reign. The windows are mullioned and transomed, and show one peculiarity very
general in old London, in carrying on the upper lights continuously,
No. 14 isa timber house with carved bargeboard, which stood next to Blue Boar's Head
Yard, King Street, Westminster. The tradition as to its being formerly occupied by Oliver
Cromwell was verified in 1888 by an inspection of the parish books of St. Margaret's, West-
minster, where it was found that Licut.-General Oliver Cromwell was rated for and occupied this
house some time anterior to his taking possession of Whitehall Palace.
The last house (No. 14a), decorated with medallions of the Roman Emperors in plaster,
stood on Little Tower Hill. There is nothing remarkable in the building beyond that the roof
line is level and was chosen as a contrast to the all-prevailing gable.
At this point (No. 15)—the termination westward of the street—the entrance thereto is
masked by one of the galleried fronts of an old London inn, The “Oxford Arms,” Warwick
Lane, was chosen as a typical specimen; but there are still remaining in Bishopsgate Street,
Holborn, and more especially the Borough, several examples of these.
The house beyond (No. 16) was on the west side of Little Moorfields, Finsbury, and
was a very fine specimen of plaster work. It was not removed until the commencement
of the present century. A low building connects this with two houses (Nos. 17 & 18)
possessing considerable interest; they stood at the south corner of Hosier Lane, Smithfield,
over against the famous “Pye Corner,” where the fearful conflagration of 1666 was arrested,
after having laid considerably more than three-fourths of the City in ashes; they were not
removed until 1800.
Another gateway here arrests our steps; this was the entrance to the famous Priory of the
Holy Trinity, Aldgate, founded by Queen Matilda, and whose Prior, by virtue of his office as
representing the Knighten Guild who had made over to this priory their lands and soke, was
admitted as one of the Aldermen of London, of the Ward of Portsoken. According to custom,
he sat in court, and rode in scarlet, or such livery as the other aldermen used. The Priory,
at the dissolution, was granted to Sir Thomas Audley, whose daughter, marrying the Duke of
Norfolk, gave the name to the house built by Audley out of the ruins of the Priory,— Duke's
Place.” Beyond the gate (No. 19) is the inn called the “ Fountain” in the Minories, which,
notwithstanding its heavy projecting stories, was so strongly framed, that when it was attempted
to remove it, cart-horses had to be employed to pull the beams apart; on one of them was foand
the date 1480.
Beyond this (No. 19a) is the gable end of the Hall of the Brotherhood of the Holy Trinity
(which is reached by ascending the staircases to the first floor) in Aldersgate Street, near to Little
Britain. This Hall has been selected as a typical example of the Hall of a Guild or Livery, of
which thore were many within the boundaries of the ancient City. It was a guild possessing
property, and connected with the neighbouring church of St, Botolph’s, Aldersgate Street, and
after the suppression was purchased by some of the parishioners as a place of meeting. It was
not removed until the end of the last century, and very accurate drawings by Capon and Carter
exist in the Gardner Collection, The Right Hon. John Staples, F.8.A., Lord Mayor of London
for the present year (a member of the committee originally charged with the construction of the
buildings), has given the history of this Guild in his ‘ Notes on St. Botolph’s, Aldersgate. The
ancient stained glass with a figure of St. Blaise, and several ancient shields which existed in
1611, and were not iced by N. Charles, Lancaster Herald, have been faithfully reproduced.
The house beyond is one of the most remarkable in this street (No. 20), remarkable not only
for its extreme richness of decoration, but as being connected with Sir Richard Whittington,
famous in song and in story. It was situated four doors from Mark Lane in Crutched Friars,
or Hart Street, up a courtyard, and was described in old leases as Whittington’s Palacd,
Although the house from its style and ornamentation could not possibly have been of his time it
is possible that the front only had been ornamented and altered, for in general outline and
arrangement it resembled houses of that date—it was richly ornamented with carvings of the
armorial bearings of the city companies, which stamped it os being the house of a remarkable
personage and one whom the City delighted to honour. It was impossible to reproduce the
extreme richness of its decoration. ‘The ornamentation has therefore only been painted, the
original having been entirely carved and painted and gilt. Very accurate prints of this court-

this representation has been taken.
The next two houses (No. 21) were drawn by Mr. Gwilt before they were removed ; they were
situated in Bankside, and are pictureeque examples of plaster decoration and open balconies.
The last two houses (Nos. 22 & 28) in this street on the left before arriving at the gate
at which we entered were also from the Gwilt collection (now in the Gardner) and stood in
the High Street, Borough; they were only removed of late years, and were drawn and
measured by Mr. Gwilt.
’ As to actual size the whole of the buildings have only been slightly reduced, but this has
been done in proportion, although such reduction is not to a. uniform scale, but has been adopted
in the different cases to suit the uniformity of the plan and arrangement of the whole. The
interiors, it must be recollected do not in all cases correspond in size with the exteriors.
The foregoing notice is written from particulars furnished by Mr. Geo. H. Birch, the
architect, and is not intended to be more than a very brief description of the examples selected
to represent “Old London.”
The buildings were designed and constructed as bearing upon and connected with the
special objects of the International Health Exhibition, 1884, to which the Corporation of the
City of London and several of the Livery Companies liberally subscribed.
The Royal Commission has placed at the service of the Colonial Commissioners the whole
of the upper rooms of this street.
On the right side of Old London will be found the rooms set apart for the use of the Colonial
and India ‘ffices, and also those for the Crown Agents of the Colonies; all these rooms lead into
the Colonisi Commissioners’ Club. The Banqueting Hall, &., furnished by Messrs. Cooper &

Tms popular and interesting section of the past and present Exhibitions is situated in the
Weatern Arcade, and comprises ten sea-water tanks, nine fresh-water tanks, twenty table-tanks,
and twelve oyster-tanks. Since the International Fisheries Exhibition the control of the
Aquarium has been in the hands of the National Fish Culture Association, whose President and
Chairman is the Marquess of Exeter; its Vice-President Sir Edward Birckbeck, Bart., M.P. ;

Throughout the late International Inventions Exhibition the Aquarium was crowded with
visitors, taxing to the utmost its accommodative capacity. There is always a fascination in
watching the graceful, silent movements of the denizens of our waters; and whatever form an
exhibition may take, a glimpse into the Aqueous;Kingdom through the medium of Aquaria is.
always heartily welcomed by everybody, Although the exhibitions that have succeeded that of
the International Fisheries have been of an entirely different character, the Aquarium has
always maintained its position of interest; and this is particularly the case with the present
Exhibition, when an opportunity will be afforded to Colonial visitors of inspecting the various
fish indigenous to this country. \
The Council of the National Fish Culture Association have done their utmost to heighten
the attractiveness of this department ; and preparations have been in course of progress since the
commencement of the present year for bringing to perfection the necessary preliminary arrange-
ments whereby to ensure the successful retention of fish in captivity. During the winter the
Aquarium was carefully maintained, so that the collection now shown to the public includes
many well-seasoned and matured specimens, In order to render the fresh and sea-water as
clear as possible, it has been clarified by Maignen’s “Filtre Rapide.’ Elaborate arrange-
ments have been made for replenishing the tanks with marine and fresh-water fish, and with
this in view special fishermen and naturalists are being employed on all parte of the coast to
capture and forward specimens, so that the Aquarium may always be replete with selected fishes,
forming a unique display so far as London is concerned. The specimens on view include the
turbot, sole, halibut, brill, plaice, flounder, dab, pilchard, shad, cod, haddock, whiting, hake,

diversified display of sea-anemones. The Directors of the Brighton Aquarium are rendering
valuable assistance in forwarding specimens of fish captured off the South Coast, 20 that many of
the fish familiar to those who have visited that popular place of amusement and instruction will
be found amongst the occupants of the marine tanks at South Kensington.
In order to intensify the interest attaching to the collection of live fish, the Lords of the
Committee of the Council on Education have again given their consent to a portion of the Buck-
land Museum Collection being exhibited in the Aquarium. Thus a wide and diversified
collection of interesting and edifying objects are presented to the public conjunctively with
the live fish, all of which embrace an important and popular combination of exhibits relatin,

COLONIAL AND INDIAN AQUARIUM AND FISH-
CULTURE SECTION.
_ In order that specimens of fish indigenous to the waters of India and the Colonies might be
displayed at the present Exhibition, the Council of the National Fish-Culture Association were
requested by the Royal Commissioners to form a special Aquarium for the same. The Asso-
Ciation being anxious to do everything in their power to impart fresh information to the public,
and at the same time further the cultivation of Colonial fishes, readily acquiesced, and, as will be
seen, have provided the requisite accommodation not only for fishes but amphibious animals as
well.
The new Aquarium is located in the western annexe parallel with the old one. It comprises
twelve tanks for tropical fresh-water fish, and a large habitat for turtles. In addition to these a
hatchery has been erected for incubating the ova of these reptiles, which will be undertaken by
Mr. W. Oldham Chambers during the season. The most complete arrangements have been made
to ensure the success of this experiment, which is fraught with much interest. In contiguity to
the turtle tank is a miniature beach, upon which the turtle disport themselves when out of
water. The water in each tank is heated in accordance with the natural necessities of both
tropical and inter-tropical fish, the apparatus for this purpose being so arranged as to be abso-
lutely compliable to regulation. The water in the turtle tank is salt, but that in the other tanks
is fresh. The various species exhibited will be referred to in a later edition. The tanks and
other works have been designed by Mr. W. Oldham Chambers and constructed by Messrs.
Dick Radclyffe & Co.
FISH-CULTURE DEPARTMENT.
The Fish-Culture Section is situated in the above Aquarium, and stretches as far as the
Canadian Court. During the winter and spring this department was the scene of lively activity
on account of the hatching season, when hundreds of thousands of fish eggs were successfully
incubated, the fry being transferred to public waters and to the Establishment of the Association
at Delaford Park, Iver, Bucks. It is to be regretted that, owing to the time of year, the public
were prevented from viewing the operations, which were of a very interesting and instructive
character.
In this department there is a very fine display of mature Salmonids and yearlings, besides the
various apparatus and appliances used in the work of breeding and rearing fish. These apparatus
consiat of hatching boxes, rearing and feeding boxes, invented by the Marquess of Exeter and Mr.
W. Oldham Chambers, His Lordship also exhibits models of an oyster-culture establishment
and fish ponds. The remaining exhibits are from the Buckland Museum Colleciion, and
comprise a series of Canadian and American fish-culture appliances, and a model of Billingsgate
Market, designed by Mr. J. L. Sayer, and a model of a fish-culture establishment by Mr, W.
Oldham Chambers, F.L.8.
A wide and diversified combination of exhibits relating to Fish, Fishing, and Fish Colture
are thus brought together in this Section, which will doubtless p:ove highly interesting to the
general public.
The Council of the National Fish-Culture Association are desirous of acknowledging the
special services that have been rendered in the Aquarium and Fish-Culture Department
by Professor Baird, United States Commissioner of Fish and Fisheries; Mr. William Burgess; _
Malvern Wells; Mr. J.S. Charles, Lower Grosvenor Place; The MacLaine of Lochbuy; Mr. T
Andrews, Guildford; Messrs. Dick Radclyffe & Co., Holborn; Mr. P. A. Maignen, St. Mary-at-
Hill, E.C.; Messrs. Poland Bros.; Mr. W. H. Williamson, Lower Thames Street; and Mr. Horace
Overton, Victoria Buildings, Belgravia.

THE EMPIRE OF INDIA.
HISTORICAL RETROSPECT.
Firat East India Company, 1600.—Tho English. East India Company, which
commenced and consolidated our Empire in the East, had its origin at the close
of the 16th century in a difference with the Dutch regarding the price of pepper.
The cost of that articlo had hitherto been about 3s. per pound; in 1599 the
Hollanders raised it against the English to 6s. Thereupon the merchants of
London held a meeting, with the Lord Mayor in the chair, to establish
an association for the purpose of trading direct with India. On the 31st of
December, 1600, the English East India Company was incorporated by Royal
Charter, under the title of “‘ The Governor and Company of Merchants of London
trading to the East Indies,” with 125 shareholders, and a capital of £70,000. This
sum was raised to £400,000 when voyages to India were first undertaken on
the joint-stock account. Those voyages were at first chiefly voyages of experi-
ment, and profitless, The Portuguese would not allow any interference with their
trade on the western coast of India, and hostilities ensued ; but in 1615 Captain
Best with four English ships won a great victory over the Portuguese squadron
at Surat, and succeeded in obtaining a treaty from the Emperor Jehangi, by
which an ambassador from the Court of England was permitted to reside at the
Court of the Great Moghul, and other privileges in furtherance of the
Company's trading interests were accorded. The Ambassador, Sir Thomas Roe,
was sent out immediately by King James I., and gained other trading con-
sessions, James’s successor being in need of money, gave a new Charter to a
new Company of merchant adventurers, to the prejudice of the previously-
existing rights granted by the Charter of Queen Elizabeth. For a time this
caused the utmost disorder to trade. ‘“Interlopers,”’ as they were called,
availed themselves of the opportunity to speculate upon their own account, and
established a system of European piracy in the Indian Seas, which frightened
and harassed tho natives, and brought all legitimate trade to the very verge of
ruin. The strong hand however of Cromwell was put forth in time to save
utter commercial collapse. The rival companies combined ; the Navigation Act
; BUYER gave an impetus to fresn trade; concessions were obtained from the European
’ maritime powers which laid broader foundations for the commercial prosperity
\ ES | of Great Britain; while the general credit of the English traders—notwith-
ne: standing certain “piratical” exceptions—for probity began to make a due
R TRADE | impression in India.
a Madras Founded, 1639.—The first territorial possession which the English
o visit noquired was a strip of land on the coast below Masulipatam, six miles long
NTAL and one mile inland, purchased from one of the Hindoo rajahs of the Peninsula
ae n 1639. Here they built a factory with a surrounding wall, which, surmounted
with some cannon, they called Fort St, George. In 1653 this settlement of
England. Madras wae created an independent Presidency.

Bombay Founded, 1668.—On the west coast the English had established a
factory at Surat as early as 1612. In 1661 the island of Bombay was given by
Portugal to Charles II. as part of the dowry of his bride, Catherine of Braganza ;
but it was not made over until 1665. Three years afterwards the “Merry
Monarch” sold his rights over it to the East India Company for an annual
payment of £10. In 1687 the Company withdrew their factory from Surat, and
Bombay became the seat of the Western Presidency.
Calcutta Founded, 1698.—It was not until 1634 that the Company obtained
permission from the Moghul Emperor to trade in Bengal, and in 1640 the first
English factory was established at Haghli. In 1681 Bengal was declared a
separate Presidency ; but the Company, although holding certain suburdinate
factories at Cossinbazar, Patna, Balasore, Malda and Dacca, had not yet acquired
any territorial possessions as in Madras and Bombay. In 1696 the Nawab of
Bengal ordered the confiscation of all the English factories. The merchants at
Hiaghli retreated twenty-six miles down the river to a village amid the swamps.
Here they laid the foundations of the original Fort William, and purchased
from the son of the Emperor Aurangzeb the three villages of Suténat{, Kalikata,
and Govindpur. This was the beginning of Calcutta, the city of palaces, and
the capital of the British Empire in Hindustan.
About this time another rival association, with a capital of two millions
sterling, and calling itself the “‘ Scotch East India Company,” was incorporated,
and issued licenses for free trade in the East. Over-trading was the result of
this rivalry. The English markets were glutted with Indian produce, while
the English manufact= vers, feeling the effects of the excessive importation of
calicoes and silks, petitioned for their prohibition, or for increased import
duties. A compromise was, however, effected in 1708 through the arbitration
of Earl Godolphin, and all the English Companies were finally amalgamated
under the name of “ The United Company of Merchants trading to the Hast
Indies ” under the charter granted by Queen Anne.
The United East India Company.—In 1744 war broke out between the English
and French in Europe. Dupleix was then governor of the French Settlement
at Pondicherri, and Clive was a young writer at Madras. In 1746 that town
surrendered to a French squadron, but by the peace of Aix-la-Chapelle, two
years afterwards, it was restored to the English. Dupleix, notwithstanding
the existing European peace, endeavoured to destroy the English influence \in
India, but he was no match in the field for the young writer, who had then
exchanged the pen for the sword, as the surprise and subsequent defence of
Arcot by Clive proved. The story of the capture of Calcutta by Siraj-ud-
Dowlah, and the tragedy of the Black Hole needs no repetition. Clive, who was
at Madras, sailed at once with Admiral Watson’s squadron, and speedily
recovered the city, and on the field of Plassey gained a victory which has been
accepted in history as fixing the date of the true foundation of the British
Empire in India. The Nawab surrendered the tract of country round Calcutta
known as the Twenty-Four Parganés—an area of upwards of 800 square miles,
To this four years afterwards was added the grant of the three districts of
Bardwén, Midnapur, and Chittagong, estimated to yield a net revenue of half
a million sterling. In 1765, after the revolt of Mir Késim had been put down,
the Company obtained the fiscal administration of Bengal, Behar, and Orissa.

The. Empire of India. 5
The immediate successor to Clive was Warren Hastings, the first and greatest
Governor-General of India. It was his ambition as an administrator to
consolidate the territory acquired by his soldier predecessor. He found
himself, however, forced into wars with the Mahrattas and with Mysore.
Although he bettered the finances of Bengal to the extent of a million sterling
a year, almost the only territory acquired during his administration was the
suzerainty of Benares, for of the conquests made in the Mahratta war,
only Salsette and Elephanta and two other small islands were retained by the
English.
The first war with Mysore was concluded by a peace with Tipa in 1784 on
the basis of a mutual restitution of all conquests. But on the close of the second
Mysore war, in 1792, when Lord Cornwallis, then Governor-General, led the
British Army in person with the Nizam of the Deccan and the Mahratta chiefs
as allies, Tipé was made to yield one half of his dominions to be divided between
his conquerors, and to pay three millions sterling indemnity,
At the close of the 18th century the English power was paramount in
Lower Bengal, and was further consolidated from the sea-board to Benares high
up the Gangetic valley. In Southern India the Company's possessions were
chiefly confined to the coast districts of Madras and Bombay.
In 1798 Lord Mornington, better known as the Marquis of Wellesley,
arrived in India as Governor-General, bringing with him the determination that
England must be the one paramount power in the Peninsula, and that the
native princes could only retain the insignia of sovereignty by surrendering
their political independence. In 1801 the Nawab of Oudh, who had agreed
to pay a subsidy of £760,000 a year for the aid of British troops, but who was
always in arrears, made over to the Company in lieu of a cash payment the
district. of Rohilkhand and the fertile tract between the Ganges and the
Jumna, known as the Dodb. This made the English territorial rulers as far as
the centre of the present North-Western Provinces, and established their
political influence in Oudh, In 1799 a third war broke out with Mysore, Tipa
having been discovered intriguing with the French. At Seringapatam, where
his capital was stormed by the English, he died fighting in the breach, and his
territories, with the old State of Mysore, were portioned between the English
and their allies, the Nizim of Haidarabad and the Mahrattas. About this time
the Carnatic and Tanjore were placed under direct British administration, thus
constituting the Madras Presidency almost as it has existed to the present
day. In 1800 the English territorial influence in the Bombay Presidency was
increased by the grant of districts made over by the Peshwé of Poona—an act
which so incensed the other Mahratta chiefs that it led them into war against
the British. This second Mahratta War was made famous by the successes of
Sir Arthur Wellesley and General Lake, the former winning the decisive
victories of Assaye and Argaum and capturing Ahmednagar, and the latter
being equally successful in the pitched battles at Aligarh and Laswiri, and
taking the cities of Agra and Delhi. The French troops of Sindhia were
scattered, and he himself to secure peace ceded all claims 1o the territory north of
the Jumna, his companion in arms and misfortune, the Bhonslé Réjé of Nagpur,
making submission too, and forfeiting Orissa to the English.
This campaign brought the North-Western Provinces under British rule.

The new districts were amalgamated with those previously acquired from the
Nawab of Oudh into tho “ Ceded and Conquered Provinces.”
It was not until the succession of the Earl of Moira, better known as tho
Marquis of Hastings, to the Governor-Generalship that there was any further
increase to the Company’s territorial possessions in tle East ; but during the two
wars in which he embarked, viz., the campaign against the Girkhas and that
against the Mahrattas, these possessions were considerably extended. The
defeat of the former gave to the English the much-coveted hill sanitaria of
Naini Tél, Massuri, and Simla, and that of the latter added the dominions of
the Peshwé to the Bombay Presidency. The overthrow of the Pindéris, which
took place in the same year (1818) secured the territory which formed the
nuclous of the present Central Provinces. At the same time the States of
Rajputaéns accepted the position of feudatories to the paramount British Power,
the only exception being the district of Ajmere, made over by Daulat Rao Scindia
in 1818, and the tract known as Mairwara, annexed in 1820. From this time,
until the accession to power of Lord Dalhousie, the boundaries of the British f
Empire in India remained substantially unchanged. i,
But a conquest in another direction was made in the meantime under Lord
Amherst, who in 1828 had succeeded the Marquis of Hastings. The insolence
of the King of Ava, accompanied by a series of encroachments upon the British
districts of Bengal, forced the Governor-General to declare war against Burma
in 1824, The first Burmese campaign lasted for two years, causing a loss to the
British of 20,000 lives, chiefly from disease, and an expenditure of £14,000,000,
but giving England possession of the Provinces of Arakan and Tenasserim, the
King of Ava abandoning also all claim to Assam.
In 1833 the Charter of the East India Company was renewed for
twenty years, but on condition that the Company should abandon its trade
entirely aud permit Europeans to settle in the country. Lord William Bentinck
was then Governor-General, and his seven years’ rule was an epoch of
administrative reform, signalised by only one act of annexation, that of the little
territory of Coorg, which was taken under British sway “in consideration of the
unanimous wish of the people.”
In 1842 Lord Auckland was superseded by Lord Ellenborough, during whose
brief administration the great Province of Sind was annexed after the overthrow
of the Ameers by Sir Charles Napier at the desperate battle of Miani. In FF
June, 1844, Lord Ellenborough was recalled by the Court of, Directors, and was f/)
succeeded by Sir Henry (afterwards Lord) Hardinge. At that time there was |”
but one remaining Hindu power in India—that of the Sikh nation. In 1845 | |
war was declared by the Governor-General, the Sikh army numbering 60,000 |
men with 150 guns having crossed the Sutlej and invaded British territory. |
Within three weeks four pitched battles were fought, at Midki, Ferozshahr, }
Aliwél, and Sobréon, ending in the driving back of the invaders and the J
surrender to the British of Lahore and the Jalandhar Doab, or tract between |
the Sutlej and the Ravi, a British force being left to garrison the Punjab for eight |
years. In 1848 Lord Hardinge returned to England, and was succeeded hy theo |

The policy of Lord Dalhousie towards the native feudatory states was
that misgovernment or lapse of natural successor should causo such state
to lapse to the British Government, on the maxim that the good of the
governed should be the first consideration. Accordingly the State of Sitéra in
1849, and that of Jhansi in 1853, became British territory, and on the death
of the last of the Mahratté Bhonslis of Nagpur, his territories were annexed
and became the Central Provinces in 1853. In that year the Niz4m of Haidar.
&b4d was induced to hand over to British administration the district known
as the Berars, as a territorial guaranteo for his arrears of subsidy. But
the culminating act of annexation was that of the Kingdom of Oudh
in 1856—an act which had been resolved upon only after long and painful
hesitation on the part of the Court of Directors, and after repeated friendl
warnings to the Oudh Government, which was one of tyranny and ahieesifen
to the people. The proclamation was issued on the 13th of February, 1856
and Oudh was annexed to British territory without a blow or the shedding of
a drop of blood. Lord Dalhousie, who returned to England almost immediately
but only to die, was succeeded by his friend Lord Canning, whose Viceroyalty
was clouded by the storm of the Mutiny, which burst forth in the Sepoy Army
in May, 1857. The fate of the British Empire in India—at stake for a moment
—was decided by the valour of Englishmen—soldiers and civilians, aided by
the loyalty of native soldiers and chiefs, who remained faithful to their “salt”
and treaty obligations.
But the Mutiny decided the fate of the East India Compan
then existed for two and a half centuries, and whose pent Sas
renewed for the last time in 1853, but only for a period at the discretion of
Parliament. On the 1st of November, 1858, at a Grand Darldr held at Alla-
habad, Lord Canning announced that the Queen of England had assumed the
entire government of India. On January Ist, 1877, at another and more
magnificent Darbér, held by Lord Lytton on the “ Ridge ” at Delhi, overlooking
the ancient capital of the Moghals, and attended by all the gtent feudatory
princes and chiefs throgghent the land, Her Majesty was proclaimed Empress
of all India.
tn 1786, when Lord Cornwallis landed at Calcutta as Governor-General, the
British Empire in India comprised only Bengal and Behar in Hasterh
Hindustan, a very little area round Bombay in the Western Dekhan, and a
somewhat larger area round Madras, in the EHastern Peninsula. In 1886 the

INTRODUCTION.
The Colonial and Indian Exhibition is primarily due to the initiative of
H.R.H. the Prince of Wales, whose earnest desire and object it has been that
the series of Exhibitions should culminate finally in one great Imperial
display, of the resources and industries of the Empire of India, and of the
Colonies that constitute what has been well called Greater Britain, His Royal
Highness, as Executive President of the Royal Commission, at the first meeting
of the Commissioners, held on March 30, 1885, said that the project was essen-
tially one of a national and imperial character, differing in this respect from
former exhibitions, in which the elements of trade rivalry and profit largely
predominated.
At the same meeting the Earl of Kimberley, the Secretary of State for
India, indicated the purpose and method of the Exhibition in the following
words :—‘ There is, perhaps, nothing more desirable for India, than that its
products and industries should be well known in this country, although we have
much more to learn from than to teach them. Their beautiful manufactures
which they have produced for so many ages have proved that there is a know-
ledge of many branches of art, which it would be a thousand pities should be
diminished under our rule. I have often been struck with the calamity of the
introduction of our taste into Eastern arts and manufactures, for their taste is far
better than ours, although we have no doubt engineering knowledge and skill,
and the command of capital ; and I cannot conceive of any advantage greater than
) that the two countries should be brought together. The Government of India
'| will undertake the collection and management to a great extent of what is to be
} sent to this country. You will see from the immense size of our Indian Empire
/4 and the position of the Government there, that it is much betier this should be
} taken in hand by the Government.”
In order tu thoroughly carry out the idea, so far as India is concerned, and
4 to ensure a thorough and complete representation of her arts, industries, and
“| resources, the Secretary of State for India not only guaranteed a sum of
1 £20,000 to the guarantee fund, but also authorised the expenditure by the
Government of India of about 100,000 rupees, practically equal to about
£7,500, in providing a collection of the natural history, ethnography, and social
economy, administration, raw products, and primary manufactures of India.
7 It was further arranged that the Imperial and provincial collections, which
q were being prepared for the projeeted Bombay Exhibition, should be forwarded
4 to South Kensington.
Mr. Buck, Secretary to the Government of India in the Revenue and
Agricultural Department, and Commissioner for India, describes the scheme
under which the collections of exhibits provided by or through the agency of
the Government of India have been arranged. ‘These collections, made with

the assistance of the Governments of Presidencies and Provinces and of the Em
Rulers of Native States, are distributed in three main divisions over the spaces ut tah
allotted to the Government of India. of a
The divisions are:—I. The Art-ware Courts, containing specimens of art-ware Wo
and ornamental fabrics from each Indian Province or State. II. The Economic the
Count, in which are placed economical products, and exhibits of agriculture
and ethnology from the whole Empire, TII. The Administrative Courts, con- oxpl
taining exhibits contributed by administrative departments. The primary fae
arrangement of the division which comprises the Art-ware Courts is geo- clase
graphical, and not, as has hitherto been the case in all Exhibitions to the
which India has contributed, technical. In other words, Art exhibits are ape
primarily divided with reference to locality, and not with reference to classi- of t]
fication. It is true that, in the descriptive labels attached to each exhibit, they
an uniform classification has been followed in accordance with a classified list, fore,
which will be found in the Special Catalogue, but the primary arrangement has ii tl
reference to the place of manufacture, and not to the place which the exhibit he |
occupies on the classified list. The cause of this departure from the usual of the
system is to be found in the circumstance that in India the Art manufactures of of the
any one place are, as a rule, so different in character from those of any other balus
place that they ought not to be confounded by being brought under the same the fr
group. Itis no exaggeration to say that a particular kind of Art-ware is often Lond
manufactured by one or two families only in a single locality. The absence, that t
until a very recent date, of free communication throughout the country, the archit
fact that the introduction of many Art trades in India is due to the importation bali
by some ruling prince of one or two workmen from a country beyond the i
frontier, or from another State or Province, and the custom, consequent on a ‘s Re
caste system, of passing on every trade from father to son, are among the causes santos
which have helped to maintain a practice so singularly conservative. Th
The geographical arrangement which has been followed in the Art-ware iii
Courts has the further advantage of indicating with considera¥vle clearness the pie
changing complexion and character of Art manufacture as we pass from one ibe ee
part of India to another. It is easy to observe, for instance, the greater effect of ff ©: DR
Persian influence on many of the Art manufactures in the Punjab, when these § agi
are compared with those of Provinces further south; this circumstance being
due to the fact that the Punjab has always been from its position the first to all
province to be overrun by successive inroads of invaders from beyond the North- _
West Frontier. It is easy again to notice that many of the Art manufactures of f eco
large cities are of such a kind as could only have been supported by the © pa
patronage of a luxurious Court, such as that which existed under the Mogul | Those 1

Introduction. 11
Emperors at Delhi; or to form the conclusion from an examination of the Art
specimens contributed by the capitals of decayed principalities, that the decline
of much Indian decorative Art is due to the fact that manufacturers have now to
work for a class of purchasers far poorer as well as less Juxurious in habit than
the wealthy nobles and princes of the courts of ancient times.
It will not be out of place to take advantage of the preceding remarks to
explain that one important decorative Art has still survived with encouraging
symptoms of vitality under the support of the wealthy members of the middle
classes ; this is the decoration of temples and house exteriors. The tendency in
the present day is for wealth to accumulate in the hands of bankers and
merchants, and the custom still prevails for men of this class to spend some part
of their surplus wealth in decorating the houses of themselves and of the gods
they worship with carving in wood and stone. It was thought desirable, there-
fore, that this living type of decorative Art should be given suitable prominence
in the screens which form a double facade in front of the Provincial Courts.
The idea of thus illustrating the decorative carving which ornaments so many
of the streets and temples of India was originated on a small scale in one or two
of the Courts of the Calcutta Exhibition of 1883, which were enclosed by carved
balustrades on the level of the ground. But in order to avoid interference with
the free passage of the public, it was decided by the Royal Commissioners that in
London the carved work must be raised on arches, and it is satisfactory to know
that this plan has rendered possible the imitation with greater closeness of tho
architectural style prevailing in India, which confines the richest part of the
carving to the arches of door-ways and to verandah balustrades. The carved
screens have been constructed from a grant specially made for the purpose by
the Royal Commissioners, and they form a convenient frame-work to the Courts
containing the exhibits of each Province and Native State.
The arrangement of the Economic Court is not, like that of the Art-ware
Courts, geographical, but follows the scientific arrangement adopted in the
classified list. The conditions of a collection of products differ much from those
of a collection of Art-wares. Had any attempt been made to exhibit separately
the products of each Province and each Native State of the Indian Empire, the
undertaking, besides entailing great expense and trouble, would have involved
the unnecessary reduplication of a very large quantity of material. Very few
products are confined to a single Province, and a very large number are common
to all. It would, therefore, have been plainly undesirable to entail upon each
separate Government the labour and expense of providing a separate collection
of products from each separate geographical area, merely in order to crowd the
rooms of the Economic Court with repeated specimens of the same exhibits.
Those who desire to learn the geographical distribution of any one product-will

find any information they may require in the scientifically arranged ledger to
which reference has already been made.*
In arranging the disposition of the area allotted to economic products, it was
found convenient that the Court should comprise also collections of Ethnological
and Agricultural exhibits. The object of the former is two-fold: in the first
place to give to the people of England some practical idea of the variety of races
which are found in different parts of the great continent of India, as well as of
the various manners in which ornamental fabrics are utilised as articles of
dress; in the second place, to encourage an art which seems capable of
attaining considerable excellence in India—that of clay modelling. The clay
modellers in more than one Province of the Empire are in some respects equal
to the best terra-cotta workers in Italy, and the system for the first time
adopted in connection with this Exhibition of reproducing their work in plaster
of Parist seems likely to give prominence and encouragement to the plastic

The object with which the collection of agricultural implements has been
made is also two-fold: first, to give to the English public some insight into the
agricultural methods and practices of the country, and secondly, to invite the
attention of manufacturers to the class of implements required by Indian agri-
culturists. The series is sufficiently complete to show that what the Indian
agriculturist wants are simple and easily-handled implements, and that in this
direction only is there any hope that the manufacturers of England car. find
any extensive outlet for agricultural machinery.
The third section of the space allotted, to the Government of India is
occupied by the Administrative Courts. With few exceptions, the exhibits in
this class offer from their nature little attraction to the eye, yet the series of
records and reports which have been provided will enable any persons who
desire to make themselves acquainted with the details of the internal adminis-
tration of India to ascertain the sources from which the best and most complete
information is obtainable. The presence too of the Administrative Courts in
the Exhibition building will help to give some practical notion of the vast
machinery required for the administration of the Indian Empire, and from this

point of view the contents of these Courts hold a significant position among the
exhibits provided by the Government of India.
The plan of the Indian Section shows that it has been arranged on the lines
laid down by Mr. Buck, viz., a series of Art Courts, a Court devoted to Economia
Products and Agricultural ‘ond Ethnological Exhibits, and a space set apart to
zive some idea of the several chief departments of Government. There is also
a Court occupied by private Indian exhibitors, and another for the display both
to the eye and to the taste of Indian teas, coffees, and tobaccos. Beyond and
independent of these is the magnificent structure.which will be known as the
Indian Palace.
The Vestibule is draped with the most superb examples of the finest chintzes
of Kashmir, and from Kot Kamalia in the Punjab. The care and taste of Mr.
Purdon Clarke, and the ready co-operation of the Maharaja of Kashmir, secured
the special manufacture of these unequalled fabrics. Round the vestibule stand
on guard portrait-models of representative soldiers and native officers of the
Indian army, showing the dress, arms, and accoutrements of the principal native
regiments of the Indian Empire. Lieut.-Col. Coker, under whose supervision
the models were made by order of the Military Department of the Government
of India, has furnished a most interesting detailed list of the individual soldiers,
and the history of the twenty-five regiments represented. The stalwart Lance-
Naick of the Governor-General’s Body Guard, contrasting with the sturdy little
Gurkha, an example of the brave men who fought side by side with our own
gallant Highlanders—the Bengal infantry and cavalry, the Madras and Bombay
armies, the Sikh soldiery once our deadly foes, but who, from the mutiny down
to the Soudan campaign, have stood side by side with the English soldiers
in rivalry of faithful and valiant service—all are here represented.
From this stretch away the Economic Court on the left, the Administrative
Gallery, and the Courts of Private Exhibitors and of Teas and Tobaccos on the.
right; and in front is the entrance to the successive Art Courts, with their bewil-
dering display of Indian splendour and cunning handicraft. The order naturally
adopted will be to take the Art Courts first. That, too, will be the order observed
in these pages; then the Imperial Court of Economic Products, to be followed
in order by the Administrative Galleries, the Court of Private Exhibitors, and
the Court of Teas and Tobaccos. The Indian Palace—the ultimate goal and the
crowning work of the Indian Exhibition—will close the brief description.
THE ART-WARE COURTS.
The purpose of the pages devoted to the successive divisions of the Indian
f Art Ware Courts is to give a necessarily succinct description of the principal
arts and manufactures displayed. It is impossible to do more than indicate the

principal groups, and direct attention to the more prominent objects in these
those who wish to make a thorough examination of the large and varied col-
lection which has been got together by the Government of India through
the instrumentality of special officers, appointed in each province or state.
Much has been purchased, much has been contributed by the munificence of
the native rulers and aristocracy. The reasons for adopting the geographical
arrangement, in lieu of grouping together the examples of the same branch of
art industry from every centre, in a comparative display have been fully given
in the preface. It may, however, be useful to indicate somewhat roughly the.
places or districts which hold a higher place than others in the principal art
industries, for a full understanding of which Sir Geo. Birdwood’s work on
the “Industrial Arts of India” is indispensable.
For gold and silver work the Punjab has ever held a high reputation.
Separate from it in the Nxhibition will be found the exquisite parcel-gilt,
silver, and chased gilt work for which Kashmir is distinguished. Lucknow in
the North-Western Provinces was formerly famous for its vessels of mixed gold,
and silver, and also for parcel-gilt silver, similar to that of Kashmir. In Bengal, |
Dacca is at present the seat of the manufacture of excellent gold and silver plate.
The goldsmiths and silversmiths of Gujerat, especially of Dholka, Virumgam,
and Ahmedabad, of Cutch and of Sind must be looked for in the Bombay Court.
The Madras gold and silversmiths still retain their ancient manipulative
dexterity in pierced and hammered plate, and the characteristic swamt work
is well known. The universal use of sacred and domestic utensils in brass and
copper makes the widespread manufacture of such articles an absolute
necessity. In the Punjab, however, Karnul, Amritsar, and Lahore take the
lead in this metal work. In the North-Western Provinces, Benares is first
in India for the multitude and excellence of the sacred images, and all sorts of
brass work, both religious and domestic, which will be found in this Court. In
Bengal there are several places noted for their metal work. Every kind of
domestic utensil in brass and bell-metal is made especially at Murshidabad,
Maldah, and Shahabad. At Kagmari in the Dacca Division, brass, iron, and
white metal work are produced on a large scale. Homeliness of form dis-
tinguishes the work of the braziers of Nagpore and Chanda, and other places in
the Central Provinces. In the Bombay Presidency, Nasik, Poona, and Ahmed-
abad are foremost for their copper and brass work. In the Madras Presidency
the brass work of Madura and Tanjore surpasses all other work, not only in the |.
South but in the whole of India. The beautiful damascening in gold, called
koft work, is carried on in Kashmir at Gujerat, Sialkot, in the Punjab, and
also in Hyderabad in the Deccan. The bidri ware, as damascening in’ other

In every Court the textile fabrics, whether in cotton or silk, will be found,
and it is impossible to do otherwise than use the summary description quoted India
from Dr. Forbes Watson’s “ Classification of Cotton Piece Goods,” by Sir G. table.
Birdwood in the “ Industrial Arts of India.” Among piece goods the first place Baroa
is given to Dacca muslin, abrawan or “running water ;” bafthowa, “woven air ;” and I
subhanam, “evening dew;” all plain white webs, the poetic names of which Tn
convey to the reader a truer idea of their exquisite fineness and delicacy, and ine
of the estimation in which they are held, than whole pages of literal description. ; wrah
These fine muslins are all classed under the generic term of mulmul khas, or titula
‘kings’ muslins.” Plain muslins are made not only at Dacca and Patna, and be sa
other places in Bengal, but also at Hyderabad in the Dekhan, and at Cuddapah pei nee

are chiefly madvu ai Uacca, Nagpur, Arni, and Nellore; and figured muslins,

in the Dekhan. The process by which this mode of decoration is accomplished t bear:
is by stamping the desired pattern on cloth with glue ; the gold or silver leaf, ag i i shee
the case may be, is then laid on, and adheres to the glue. When dry, what has |
not rested on the glue is rubbed off. In Persia, in the rare Ispahan chintzes, the
gold is sprinkled in the form of dust on the pattern previously prepared with size.
The Calicoes.—Dr. Forbes Watson classifies as (a) plain calicoes, bleached
and unbleached, made all over India; (6) calicoes woven with coloured thread,
comprising first, susis and kesie, striped cloth of brilliant hue, made largely in
the Punjab and Sindh, and also at Surat, Palamcottah, Cuddalore, and other
places in Madras, and used chiefly for trouserings; second, also striped, —
manufactured in Nipal and Pegu and used for skirts; and third, checks and
tartans, used also for skirts and petticoats, and manufactured at Ludianah,
Baroach, Tanjore, Cuddalore, Masulipatam, and other places in Madras; and (c)

Fattehgarh, Masulipatam, and Arcot, &c.; second, printed on a coloured ground

Watson classes together the miscellaneous cotton fabrics, chiefly made for Anglo-
Indian use, such as the pocket-handkerchiefs of Nellore, the damask and diaper
table-cloths, napkins and towels of Madras, Salem, Masulipatam, Ouddalore and
Baroach, and the counterpanes and quilts of Karnul, Hyderabad in the Dekhan,
and Ludianah.
In silk manufactures the gorgeous and beautiful kinkhabs and gold brocades
come from the looms of the holy Benares of the North-Western Provinces,
Murshidabad, the whilom capital of Bengal proper, “and still the residence of a
titular Nawab, and Ahmedabad ; while Surat in the same Presidency comes close
upon them with its productions, so muoh prized in Further India. The poetical
names given to some of these fabrics, such as “moon and stars,” “ ripples of
silver,” “ sunshine and shade,” “ pigeons’ eyes,” “ nightingales’ eyes,” “ peacocks’
_ necks,” suggest a marvellous variety of richness and beauty. The silks mixed
i with cotton which are designed to assist devout Mussulmans in obeying the
| precept of the Koran, are made in the Punjab and Sind, at Hyderabad in
4 the Dekhan, at Tanjore and Trichinopoly. Silk-weaving is still a prosperous
industry in the Punjab, and in several divisions of Bengal. In the Madras
Presidency silk of rich texture and costly pattern is made at Bangalore, and
7 throughout Mysore silk is manufactured ; but these will come under considera-
4 tion in their respective Courts.

The Indian
2 Carpets are of two kinds, cotton and woollen. The former are known as daris,
gor durries, and satrangie or rugs and carpets. These fabrics, of which examples
@occur throughout the Courts, are the original form of Indian carpets. Their
@ patterns, consisting of stripes usually of blue and chocolate, or red or white, with
@occasional variations by the introduction of squares and diamond shapes, and
even gold and silver ornamentation, are of the oldest Indian art designs. They
are chiefly made in Bengal and Northern India, but the manufacture, as will be
@scen in tho various Courts, is in nowise confined to the territories included under
these heads. Tho Pile carpets came in with the Mussulman invaders. The
iprincipal seats of the manufacture by the regular weavers were around the
Mahommedan centres, and are enumerated by Sir George Birdwood as Cashmere,
the Punjab and Sind, Agra and Mirzapur, Hyderabad and Warangal in the
dominions of the Nizam, the Malabar Coast, Masulipatam, and the Coromandel
Coast. Velvet pilo carpets were also made at Benares and Murshidabad, and silk
pile at Tanjore, Salem, and Warangal.
The exquisite design and harmonious colouring of the Indian carpets of olden
time are incontestable, and need no further praise, But the experts and lovers

by a perforated sandstone screen, 10 ft. long by 24 ft. high. Above the
soreen, and to break the monotony of a horizontal line, are placed in the centre
a perforated imitation of a nearly semi-circular fan-light, and at the two ends a
couple of small turrets surmounted by cupolas. The style of architecture
cannot be exactly defined, as the screen in reality is a mixture of copies of parts
of several local buildings, fitted to the dimensions required; thus the pillars,
false arch, and architrave are taken from the interior of the Khanwas Mahal
(now used as the Residency): the perforated work is a copy of similar
works in the magid at tho Wazipur gate of the city; the central bit is
borrowed more or less from a semi-circular fanlight in the city, and the cupolas
on the turrets placed at the ends are similar to those used to cover portions of
the palage. Generally speaking, the screen is a representation of local archi-
tecture in details, but not as a whole. It is made throughout of red sandstone
procured from the celebrated quarries in the immediate vicinity of the city of
Karauli, and has been constructed entirely by local stonemasons and stone-
carvers, under the ‘general supervision of the State Public Works Department.
The Jodhpur screen is of carved teak wood; it was designed and made at
Jodhpur by Jodhpur artists and workmen The architecture is the modified
Delhi adopted in Rajputana.
The front of the Ulwar screen consists of panels of white marble, perforated
and carved in relief, fitted in a frame-work of black marble and teak wood, and
supported upon three beautifully-carved white marble pillars, 8 ft. high each. A
decorative design of glass-work, on which the crest and arms of His Highness
the Maharao Raja are emblazoned, surmounts this portion of the screen.
The side portions of the screen consist of panels of red sandstone carved on
both sides. The designs of the pillars and panels are taken from carvings
existing in the Ulwar Palace, and are of pure Hindu style. The glass-work
decoration is also taken from the Ulwar Palace, three rooms in whith are
entirely ornamented with work of this description. The screen is altogether of
Ulwar workmanship, and the marble is from the celebrated quarries of Makrana,
Rajputana.
The screen for the Kotah section of the Rajputana Court consists of a front
and side piece made of Shisham wood (Dalbergia Sissu) and inlaid with ivory.
This style of work is much practised in the town of Etawah in the Kotah State.
The architectural design is Hindu, and has been copied from old buildings in
the City of Kotah.
One of the screens is designed to represent a sample of the ordinary street :
architecture in the Ajmere city. The archways or arcades are similar to the |;
description usual in verandahs of houses, serats, shop fronts, &c. These arcades ||
are often surmounted by a system of ornamental bracketing and open carved |§

work, supporting upper balconies. The materials generally used in street archi-
tecture of this kind are a mixture of cut stone and stone masonry and plaster
work, the whole being either whitewashed or decorated by painting in bright
water-colours. In some cases the entire work is of out stone or of marble.
This model is carved in wood and painted white to represent the original type
as nearly as possible.
The Bikanir ornamental screen is a wooden structure, constructed to show
to the best advantage a style of decoration applicable to wood, stone, earthen-
ware, ivory, and glass, and believed to be peculiar to Bikanir, of which the
following is a brief description :—On the surface of the wood, which had been
previously well scrubbed with liquid clay and allowed to dry, the outlines of a
flower pattern were stencilled with a bag of powdered charcoal through
perforated paper. Successive layers of liquid clay were then applied with small
squirrel’s-hair brushes within the outlines of the pattern, each layer being
allowed to dry before the next application, until a raised surface bringing out
the stalks, leaves, and petals with sufficient distinctness had been produced.
The whole surface was then fixed by a coat of paint, and when this was dry gold
leaf was applied over all. The ground-work, black, with a red border, on the
portion intended to face the central avenue and the adjacent Courts of Central
India and Ajmere, and red with a black border in the interior of the Bikanir
bays, was then painted in, the flower pattern standing out in gilt relief.
Immediately on entering the Jeypore Court is seen a collection of carefully
executed models representing the various inhabitants of Jeypore, and having
two full-sized figures, one of an armed Rajput and the other of a royal domestio
standing as it were on guard on either side. The six coloured cartoons which
ornament the Jeypore Court are enlarged copies of the miniatures in the precious
copy of the Razm Namah belonging to H. H. the Maharaja. The fourth volume
of ‘Memorials of the Jeypore Exhibition,” published in London and to be seen
in the Court, gives a full account of this superb work of art which was executed
for the Emperor Akbar.
Decorative art as applied to architecture, which will throughout the Art-
ware Courts be shown in ever-varying forms, according to the special country
or district to which it belongs, is nowhere more remarkably displayed than in
the ancient cities of the land of the Rajas or Rajputana. The white marble
from Jodhpur and the red sandstone of Bhartpur were the marbles of which
the Taj-Mahal, the Dehli and Agra forts and mosques and the Fatehpur Sikri
palaces were constructed. The exquisite cqloured marbles of Jeypore and
Ajmere and the limestone of Jaisalmir were,employed in decorating them. In
this Court will be found examples from the different States, not only in the
special portions of the screens contributed, but also in trellis-work screens

an oven, The medallions are composed of ground glass, upon which quaint
patterns of figures, landacapes, and flowers are traced in gold. A piece of
white foil of silver backing termed donk is placed behind the glass, and serves
to give that peculiar lustre and depth of colour which is so much admired.
Returning to gold and silver plate and jewellery, the chased silver of Bikanir
will be found to show fairly good work. Those shown are excellent examples.
The silversmiths in the service of H.H. the Maharaja of Ulwar, have manu-
factured a group of specimens of the filigrained and chased work. They
include a silver chuskidan, that is a Rajput wine bottle and glass stand, a khasdan
or betel holder, a surahé or water bottle, a milk jug and two pairs of bracelets,
Jodhpur contributes ten objects in gold and silver work and jewellery. One
of these (8023), the Wmniya, or neck ornament, is made of gold and silver of
different shapes, and worn by almost every Hindu woman in Marwar. Next
to it is the tara or anklet, a silver foot ornament, chiefly used by Brahmans as
@ marriage present to a bride. Amongst the gold and silver plate can be
noticed a wine-holder used by Rajputs when drinking.
A special exhibit which comes under the head of jewellery is the collection
of garnets, and different ornaments, such as necklaces and bracelets, formed of
them, from Jeypore. The pieces of garnet are dug in quarries in various
places. Some also are collected from river beds. They vary from 7, to 1 in. in
diameter. The colours range from the deepest red to violet, purple, and yellow.
The diggers sell the stones to the dealers or lapidaries, The best are cut as
carbuncles or stones hollowed out like half plums.
Lacquered-ware cups and water jars are shown from Indragarh in the Kotah
state. The cups are revolved in a lathe, and the pieces of lacquer applied, which,
when heated by friction, adhere to the wood. The ornamental work on the cups
is then done by means of a small fine chisel. The melted lac is put upon surahis
with asmall piece of iron, These are merely mentioned, there being nothing
characteristic in the Rajputana lacquered ware. The art being practised all over
India will be spoken of more fully when larger and better, collections ocour.
The inlaid work of Etawah shows a method of decoration peculiar to that
town. The articles are made of shisham wood or of buffalo horn inlaid with ivory
or mother of-pearl, and are principally used for ornamental purposes. The
industry is confined to two or three families of the khati caste, who turn out
their work very slowly, though it is as a rule carefully and strongly executed.
The Kotah screen is made of similar work.
From Marwar there are samples of the ivory carving made at Pali which are
said to be chiefly purchased by gentlemen visiting that place. More curious and
characteristic are the Aindoras or cradles made of carved and coloured wood, and
gold silk, which are exported from Jodhpur. They vary in value according to

the material used, size, and finish. Their purpose is for the religious rite of
swinging Hindu gods at festivals. Together with these are examples of tho
singhasan or thrones used for seating Hindu gods. The Ulwar ivory-carving
includes a partially enamelled elephant. The rider is supposed to be the god
Sitaran and the driver Hanuman the monkey. An ivory antimony case with
pearls round the top of the cover, and a perforated screen work are worthy of
notice.
The Bikanir artists excel in wood-carving, door framee costing as much ag
Rs. 100. The ivory-carving and lacquered ware are alsc good. The wood-
carving contains wooden models of idols, elephants, camels, horses, and of an oil
press, a country cart, a camel plough; a churn, spinning wheel, bullock cart and
a well. The model of an elephant carriage from Ulwar and the rath, or bullock
carriage, from Jeypore are exact reproductions, with their curious and cumbroug
arrangements of guards for the wheels, and the rich ornamentation of their
embroidered cushions and covers, of those in ordinary use by the princely and
wealthy families.
The arms and armour of the collection lent from Ulwar for exhibition,
comprise both ancient and modern weapons, offensive and defensive. Among
them the most remarkable are—a very long sword with a species of double
handle, which is used by native chiefs as a support when sitting, the steel
poniard with gold work representing in alto-relievo the pictures of Hindu gods
and goddesses, the shields, ancient and modern, made of rhinoceros skin with
gold and steel bosses, and the steel shields with koft or damascened work. From
Jodhpur also comes a supply of shields and daggers, and numerous examples of
the Sirohi swords which are famous in Rajputana, the prices varying according
to the quality of the steel and the workmanship of the sword hilts, which are
generally wrought with silver and gold, and rauge fre Rs. 2 to Rs. 100.
In brass, copper, and mixed metals, the Jeypore School of Art displays
excellence of work, but reference to the Jeypore Handbook can be made for
comparison of the different articles exhibited. A curious lamp, made of brass
or iron, so constructed that it will roll on the ground without upsetting the
oil-box or the light being put out, is sent from Jodhpur.
The glazed pottery of Rajputana is not given a foremost rank amongst the
exemplars of that art, such as belong to the historical glazed earthenware of
Madura, Sindh, and the Punjab. The painted pottery of Kotah and the gilt
pottery of Amroha are mentioned in the “ Industrial Arts of India,” as among
the principal varieties of Indian fancy pottery made purposely for exportation.
In Rajputana, cotton is woven everywhere, and the printed muslins and
chintzes of Jeypore and Jodhpur are prized all over Hindostan for the purity
and brilliance of their dyes. Large cotton dure of Rajputana striped in red,,

green, yellow, blue and black, are marvellous examples of the skill of Indian
weavers in harmonising the most prismatic colours. ‘A detailed account of the
varieties of cloth manufactured in Ajmere-Mhairwara gives a description of the
seven varieties of cloth manufactured, which, with variations, may be used as a
classification of the different cotton stuffs manufactured throughout Rajputana.
First, pagris, or turbans, which are generally softer or lighter in texture thar.
other native cloths, the ordinary dimensions being thirteen yards long by ten
inches wide. Those made from native thread are used by the rural population.
From English thread aro made fine specimens of native muslins, into which
gold thread is often tastefully introduced. Second, takri or reza, a coarse cloth
made from native thread, and used by the rural population for garments on
account of its durability and cheapness, also extensively for calico printing, bed
covers and floor cloths. Third, septa, a kind of coarse muslin, which is, however,
seldom made or sold in the district, because the machine-made muslins of
Manchester and Bombay have entirely superseded it, and the general dew2nd
for Manchester cloths is driving out cloths worked with English tlread.
The fourth, khes, is a kind of checkered fabric, chiefly remarkable as
exhibiting a different kind of weaving from that of the ordinary hand-woven
cloths of Ajmere. The pattern is generally plain. The thread of the weft is
entwined alternately with that of the warp, so that the make of the fabrio
appears diagonal or crosswise across the fabric, instead of the thread crossing at
right angles. Of the three other sorts, one is only a variety of the takri cloth.
Another called susi, is a narrower cotton fabric used only by Mussulman women,
It is distinguished by having stripes lengthwise down the piece of a different
colour from the groundwork. The commoner patterns are dark blue with
white stripes, or blue with red stripes. The last called charkana, is the same all
over—a kind of check variation of the preceding, with varieties in black and
white check or red and blue.
All native Indian fabrics are either plain clcths woven with the single
thread, cloths with a longitudinal stripe, or cloths with diagonal patterns. The
Ajmere cotton prints are far inferior to those of Jeypore, both in purity and
brilliancy of dyes. The favourite colour is dark red, and varieties of colours
are obtained by the use of indigo and turmeric. The cloth is damped and
stretched, and wooden blocks, on which the floral patterns project in strong
relief, are charged with colour, and then pressed down on the cloth. Tinsel
printing, of which the specimens exhibited are by no means attractive, is also
common in the district. The patterns used in colour printing are almost always
variations of the same design, the ground being coloured black, red, yellow, or
azure blue, with striped or spotted border, and the field covered with imitations
of plantain fruit, surrounded by small squares of various colours.

26 The Empire of India.
’ Kotah muslin woven by Mahommedan or Hindu weavers, is made in hand
looms of European cotton thread. It is principally disposed of wholesale for
export to Nimach and other places in India. Kotah also exhibits dyed cloths.
The process consists of first dyeing the cloth, and secondly producing a pattern
by tying up with cotton threads small portions of the cloth in pieces about the
size of a threepenny piece, and often much smaller. The tying is so tightly
and thoroughly done that when dipped in the second dye these spots retain
their original colour. Very intricate patterns of pagodas, trees, animals and
fruits are produced with three different colours. Each portion of the pattern
that is required of one colour has to be knotted at one time. It is then dyed,
and the second set of knots tied, and soon. The effect is almost that of crape
when the pattern is a close one. Washing takes away, however, this effect and
renders the cloth quite flat.
The Ulwar embroidery in gold and silk thread is much admired for the
designs and the fineness of the workmanship, a good example being shown in
the angharkha, or coat, exhibited in the Silk Ware Court. The Bikanir
embroidery in gold and silver is shown on a number of exhibits, which are
described as bodices, jackets and shawls of dancing girls, two being specimens
of hair embroidery worked upon silk. The Shergarh embroidered cloths com-
prise rugs, saddle cloths and elephant trappings made of English broadcloth,
embroidered with floss silk of various colours. Saddle-cloths are the principal
article, and are generally made for local sale.
Of woollen fabrics, the Bikanir serges are considered the best in Rajputana.
From Marwar come shawls and petticoats woven by Jat women in the Nagore
district, These are said to have found numerous European buyers of late.
CENTRAL INDIA COURT.
This Agency is also an official designatior applied to a numerous group of
States placed under the charge of the Gove -nor-General. The area is 75,000
square miles, with a population a little exceeding nine millions. Of these the
leading states Gwalior, Indore and Bhopal, as well as Rutlam, Datia, Chhatarpur,
Dhar, Dewas, and Orchha contribute exhibits.
On the right-hand side facing the Bombay Court, the Central India screen
consists of three bays each about 10 ft. in length. The central bay is higher
than those flanking it, and is intended to illustrate Buddhist and Hindu sculp-
tures as found in Central India. The pillars are modelled on, though not
exactly copied from, sculptures existing at Khajurahu in Bundelkhand. At the
base of each is a large female figure, with smaller figures on either side, and
above these, groups of small figures arranged in tiers, each of a different design,

the whole being in high relief. The cross-beam uniting the pillars illustrates
Hindu style both in figures and in ornamentation. The centre is occupied by
an image of Ganeshji. This mixture of styles was adopted in order to take an
opportunity of showing Buddhist and Hindu figures together. The bays
flanking this central gateway are somewhat lower, and consist of one pillar at
each extremity, supporting, with the help of the central pillars, horizontal
screens of Gwalior stone-carving in relief. These pillars are of simpler style
than the central pair, but are also modelled on the carvings of Khajurahu. The
stone screens consist of panels and plaques, in various designs, some copied
from the Sanchi Tope, near Bhopal, others from the Fort at Gwalior, and others
again planned by the workmen themselves.
On the left-hand side facing the Bombay Court, the style of screen is alto-
gether lighter. Here, again, there are three bays, but the central one consists
of an arch in the middle about 5 ft. broad, flanked by two narrow passages
about 2 ft. broad. There is no horizontal screen in the central portion of this
bay, which is simply an archway, but the side portions are fitted with glazed
tiles. Ono flanking bay is fitted with perforated stone-work from Gwalior, and
the other with per®vated wood-carving from Ujjain. The three pairs of pillars
supporting these three bays are all of similar style, differing only in elaborate-
ness of carving, and are copied from the kind of pillars often seen in temples
and dwelling-houses in Indore and its neighbourhood. The perforated stone
panels and wood-carvings are, as before, partly copied from actual buildings,
partly designed by the workmen.
The outer pillars of the portion of the screen first described, and all six
pillars of the second portion, are surmounted by brass pinnacles made at
Rutlam, and copied from temples.
The collections sent from the several States of the Central India Agency
cannot be said to be extensive, nor to contain particularly striking objects.
The stone-carving of Gwalior, of which the great gate of the Indian Palace is
the most remarkable example, is here represented by panels and plaques, both
perferated and carved in relief. Those numbered 217, 218 are especially
notiveable for their fineness of workmanship. The designs are taken from the
intricate and elaborate patterns of the stone lattices of tombs and palaces
included in the great Fort of Gwalior, which has recently been restored to H.H.
the Maharaja Sindhia. A variety of cups, bottles, and other objects carved out
of soapstone are examples of an industry common to Chhatarpur, Orchha and
Bijawar. A betel leaf carved in this material, from Alipura, is noticeable
for its fine exeoution.. The small stone figures of gods from Dhar are only
interesting as being the results of an industry newly started in that state, but
of a collection from Mandawar some of the images of deities are old and curious

examples. The carved pillar supporting rotating frames has been designed by
a native of Indore. Four female figures appear to hold up the frames and the
pillar is surrounded by another figure.
Jewellery.—The enamels of Rutlam are produced by the same process as those
of Partabgarh, elsewhere mentioned, differing only that the ground colour is blue
instead of green. The work of the gold and silver smiths of Jhansi is seen in
the gold and silver rings, which are of exceedingly light and fine workmanship.
But the best assortment is from Indore, and contains very good samples of
native ornaments. Some of the bracelets are of superior make. Of the ‘gold
and silver plate the best are the salvers in silver repoussé work ornamented with
gold from Rampura in the Indore State.
_ The bracelets, armlets, and necklets made of base metal, chiefly of zinc, from
Rewah, deserve careful examination, many of them showing very beautiful
designs. An old and curious set of chessmen in brass from Charkhari, a
spherical lamp of perforated brass work, which can be rolled along the ground
when lighted, and a lock containing a double-barreled pistol from Chhatarpur,
the brass pinnacles from Rutlam which decorate a portion of the screen, and
different vessels of hookahs, &c., in white metal from Ujjain, are rst of
the special manufactures of those places.
Amongst the arms is an antique sword from Charkhari. It is said that a
Raja of Charkhari used to tie the head and four legs of a camel together and
cut them through with one blow of this weapon. Of modern arms, a beautifully
wrought inlaid shield, with three daggers fastened to it to serve as offensive
weapons, is from Datia. A gold damascened sword and axe is from Panna,
adjacent to which town lie the celebrated diamond mines.
A variety of small wares in the ordinary lacquer-work is contributed from
Rewah. This universal Indian manufacture will be noticed more at length in
other Courts where there is an opportunity of drawing attention to more

Textiles.—Foremost amongst the cotton fabrics stand the muslins, turbans, |
loin-cloths, &c., manufactured at the once important but now insignificant town
of Chanderi. These are the finest cloths manufactured in Central India. The
muslin is especially fine and is ususlly left white ; and the borders of sik and |
gold lace are handsome and effective. In some of the articles the silk is coloured |
differently on either side. Almost equal to these are the Maheswar muslins |
from Indore. The fine yellow cloths from Sarangpur in Déwas are highly
esteemed in Central India for their excellence. The yellow colour is the natural
tint of the cotton. Ujjain and Mandawar in the Gwalior State have furnished
a large assortment of stamped cloths of good quality with a great variety

BOMBAY COURT.
The Art Ware Court of Bombay has been most carefully filled with the
best specimens of the manufactures 0: that great Presidency. The area directly
under the Bombay Government contains 124,134 square miles, and a population
of 163 millions. The numerous Native States add to these totals 73,000 square
miles, with 7 millions of inhabitants. The great city of Bombay, which in
numbers and commercial enterprise claims the title of Prima in India, exceeds
| Calcutta and Madras in actual population, and in point of numbers ranks as the
4 second city in the British Empire. Besides these, the state of Baroda, which
contains 8,570 square miles, with a population of 2,185,090, is represented.
The Screen.—The screen, the general design for which was made by
} Mr. Griffiths, the Superintendent of the Bombay School of Art and Secretary to
the Bombay Committee for the London Exhibition, consists of two lengths, each
80 ft. long, made up of eight open bays, 10 ft. wide. In addition to these are the
four ends, each 12 ft. wide, the total length of the screen being 208 ft., with
a uniform height of 10 ft. The design of the screen has been made with
a view to illustrate as fully as possible the characteristic wood-carving of the
Presidency.
The sections belonging to the Royal Commission, to His Highness the
Gaikwar of Baroda, and to His Highness the Rao of Cutch, were executed by
native artizans under the superintendence of Mr. Wimbridge, of the Hast India
Art Manufacturing Company, Bombay. The carved details for the Royal
Commission and Cutch sections have been selected by Mr. Wimbridge from
Mahafiz Khan, Shapur, Dastar Khan, and Rani Sipri mosques at Ahmedabad,
and the detail for the Baroda section from various houses in Surat.
The Bhavnagar section, which comprises four of the richest bays, was
constructed in Bhavnagar itself, under the immediate supervision of Mr. Proctor
Sims, the state Engineer, assisted by a very intelligent native mistry. The
details of the work are taken from the old palace, and from some of the old
houses in the town. The Junagar section was likewise carried out locally by
Dalpat Nathu. The work is executed in teak.
The Bhavnagar portion of the screen will be generally admitted to be the

are exhibited, were built towards the end of the fifteenth and the beginning of
the sixteenth centuries. The Royal Commissioners have taken plaster casts of § original

i i} The Baroda Pigeon House—The Baroda Pigeon House, a lofty structure
most elaborately carved, attracts attention, and well deserves its position. It
must not be supposed that this Pigeon House, which is presented by H.H. the
Ne Gaikwar of Baroda, is an example of poultry farming, or represents any such |
Hie use in domestic economy, as the dove-cotes in our homesteads. In Baroda and
throughout Gujarat the inhabitants erect pigeon houses for feeding not only
| pigeons but parrots, sparrows, and all birds living in or near their towns. The
| Wi Gujarathis consider it a sin to kill any animal, and to feed them is held to be a
| i great act of charity. Pigeon houses therefore are erected by the wealthy
1 | natives from motives of piety. Several other specimens of wood-carving have
been sent from Gujarat. Carved blackwood furniture, the old clumsy carving,
the style of which was obviously derived from the Dutch, and was utterly
IH] inapplicable to chairs, couches and tables, is seen to better advantage in the
Ho cabinets and picture frames both from Ahmedabad and from the Ratnagiri §
1 i 1 School of Industry. The establishment sta:ted at Ahmedabad by Mr. Lock-
mi | wood de Forest, an American gentleman, for the construction of carved furni- facture, «
ture which is exported to New York, has given a considerable stimulus toffirect o1
i this art industry, and, as will be seen by the specimens exhibited, turns out falled “
Bil ti) articles of good design and careful finish. The wood-carving for domestic far in
architecture is still carried on at Surat, and there are several workshops—inder th

'The shapes are, however, very ancient, and, though rough in character, are very
effective for decorative purposes.
Metal Work.—The principal centres of the manufacture of copper and brass
ware in the Bombay Presidency are Nasik and Poona, although a large trade in
the universally required copper and brass utensils is carried on in other large
towns. Nasik drinking cups and sacrificial pots are preferred to those of Poona
on account of their superior finish. The ornamental objects, as well as idols,
lamps, and other articles, have all come from Poona or Nasik. At the Bombay
School of Art, Mr. Griffiths has specially prepared for this Exhibition a large
copper vase, and a panel in repoussé work, the design having been taken from
carvings in the caves of Ajanta.
Trophy of Arms.—The large and handsome Trophy of Arms, contributed by
H.H. the Rao of Cutch, which forms a conspicuous object, illustrates the manu-
facture at Bhuj in Cutch of copies, so far as appearance goes, of the genuine
old Indian arms, which comprise almost every possible shape and form of sword
and dagger, from the historic wagnak or tiger claw with which Sivaji, the
founder of the Maratta power, stabbed the Bijapore general, to the most costly
tulwar. These arms are only intended for the purpose of decoration. They are
made of inferior steel, but are rendered attractive by being inlaid with gold
and silver, while the copper sheaths are ornamented with repoussé work of gold.
The Baroda Darbar has lent a representative collection of old Indian arms, in
which may be noticed some fine examples of inlaid gold, silver and ivory work.
Other collections have been sent from Bhavnagar and from Palanpur, of which
the majority are modern.
Lacquered Wares, — Sawantwari, a small Maratta state, near the territory
of Goa, has for a long time had a name for its bamboo baskets, lined with
cloth and painted with Indian pigments in various designs, and finally lac-
quered. Fans made of the fragrant root of the khaskas grass, ornamented
with beetles’ wings, and edged with peacock feathers, are also made in that
principality. Hindu playing-cards made of paper and lacquered, pdts or low
stools on which the natives sit to dine, the devhdrds or shrines for the family
gods, dolls, toys and cradles, are all shown in the lacquered ware of Sawant-,
wari. The dome-shaped shrine of Ganpati, the deity presiding over knowledge
and success, has been exhibited in the North Court as a typical specimen of
the workmanship. There are also tables, desks, chairs, wall-brackets, cabinets,
stools and book-shelves, which have been specially made for this exhibition —
to exemplify the applicability of this style of decorative art to lesser articles |
of domestic furniture, From Hyderabad, in Sind, lacquered toys are exhibited,
and have also been sent from Nasik and from Mahuwa in the Bhavnagar state.
The teapoy boxes, flower stands, and card trays, are admirable examples of the

well-known Sind lacquer ware. The Sind boxes are made by laying various-
coloured lac in succession, while turning on the lathe, and then cutting the
design through the different colours. Other boxes are simply etched and
painted: with hunting scenes or flowers, and then coated with a thin transparent
layer of lao varnish. Lacquer ware turned on the lathe is also exhibited from
Nasik, Baroda, Bhavnagar, and Gondal. Another application of lac is found in
the collection of bangles made of wood, and lac lined with tinsel, decorated with
spangles or dyed red, from Ahmedabad and Surat, where they are largely used
by Gujarathi women.
Horn Work.—Viziadurg and Malwan, in the Ratnagiri district, and Sawant-
wari, are the places where bisons’ horns are moulded into ornamental flower-
i .stands, trees, cups, stands for idols, bucks, cubs, antelopes, elephants, and the
god Ganpati. Of late the artisans, who are Hindu carpenters to whom the
secret process has been handed down through five or six generations from the
) first discoverer, have also taken to making inkstands, &o., suitable for European
use. It is said that cocoanut oil and wax are applied to the horn, which is
; then heated and pressed in moulds, but the process is not definitely known.
After being roughly shaped the horn is scraped and polished, and finally some
designs are chased and filled in with chalk. The Bombay Committee. has
sent a flower stand, a kamal or lotus-shaped tray mounted on a nandé or sacred
bull, The Sawantwari Darbar contributes an inkstand, and Baroda sends a
carved and polished horn in the shape of a peacock.
Ivory Work.—Ivory inlaid work has already been mentioned. Ivory carving
is practised to a small extent at Poona, Junagad, Satara, Ahmedabad, Surat
and Cutch. Ivory figures are made in Bombay and Surat by some of the Parsi
work-box makers, but of late they have been using stag-horn instead. At
Poona ivory combs are made in the Kasbapeth. At Junagar and Ahmedabad
there are good ivory carvers, but they mostly work with ebony or black wood
unless an article in ivory is specially ordered. An excellent specimen of the
figure of Kartiksw4mi, the son of Shiva, and the general of the celestial army,
riding on a peacock, has been contributed by H.H. the Rao of Cutch.
Gold and Silver Work.—Cutch, Poona, Baroda, Bhavnagar, Ahmednagar and
Bombay contribute a large collection of vases, cups, tea and coffee services,
plates and flower stands, and H.H. the Rao of Cutch not only sends the best but
the largest collection in the whole of the Indian section. Repoussé work in
silver is a speciality of Cutch. It is attributed to a Dutch origin, but in course

it is the: best, work of its kind. ..A large and complete collection of the gold diand
silver ornaments used by.‘the high-caste Hindus ‘of Poona has been specially made
to, order for this Exhibition, with the. difference that baser metals are used
instead, and gilt. .|This collection has;thus been secured for a very small sum,
and fully represents the original shapes, and even the|lustre, as a part of it is
gilt and another electro-plated. | From Baroda comes a collection of gold and
silver articles, mostly ornaments in common use. But a notable.addition is the
Caparisoned and dressed silver model of the state elephant.
Aden, which, though situated on the Arabian coast of the Red Sea; is under
the administration of the Bombay Government, contributes a fine collection of
silver jewellery as worn by the Arab and Somali women. The shapes are not
only massive but very quaint, and it is a collection which deserves a special ]
and close inspection, as it is particularly interesting both to the fanciers of
silver work, and to the student of comparative ethnology, who can read remote
kinship in the long-descended fornis of ornament common to widely separated
Taces.
Tectile Fabrics.—Notwithstanding tho changes i in the prosperity of the cotton
cloth industry, caused first by the extinction of the trading monopoly of the Hast
India Company, which affected Surat, and more recently by the unrestrained
‘Manchester imports, which have, almost destroyed the cotton manufactures of §
Broach, there is still a very extensive industry carried on throughout the
Bombay Presidency, both in weaving cotton cloth, printing calicoes, and manu-
facturing articles of dress: worn by both sexes, . In the Ahmedabad collectorate
the weaving of cotton cloth is still an important industry. In Ahmedabad
iteelf there are several steam factories employing over two thousand hands.
Yeola, Ahmedabad, Bijapore, Baroda, Kaira, Cutch, Gondal and Sind all con-
tribute a large collection of sddie and khans for women; dhotis or waist-cloths, #
turbans, floor-cloths, and printed cloths. Ahmedabad sends two fine examples
of cloth printed with gold and silver leaf. This industry is nearly extinct,
and there is only one man at Ahmedabad who carries on the work. <A
great distinction between the Gujarat and the Maratta races is in the decoration
of their cotton goods, the purely Maratta people seldom, wearing printed cotton
goods, while the inhabitants of Gujarat prefer them to all others. The beautifa
printed floor-cloths from Cutch and. Sind are conspicuous in the decoration o
the Bombay Court. The collection of turbans sent by the Bombay Committee
is doubly interesting from, the representation of the various head-dresses\ a
distinguishing the different divisions of the inhabitants of Bombay. Tho}
variety of shapes which one single piece of cloth assumes in the hands of the)
turban folders, without being cut or stitched together, will prove as interesting
to. a careful observer as the numerous social divisions that are denoted by them.§

The silk fabrics exhibited are mostly ‘fine examples of the historical silk
manufacturers of Ahmedabad, Surat, Tanna, Poona and Yevla. These are the
chief but not the only cities of the silk manufacture in the Presidency.
At Ahmedabad kinkhab or kincob, with the woof either of gold or silver only,
is woven, about five or six hundred looms being engaged in the manufacture.
The material is used for covering state carriages, saddle cloths, thrones,
cushions, chairs, and couches, and marriage dresses of bridegroome, bodioes
worn by women of Gujarat, and Mussulmans’ jackets and caps are also made of
. it. There are two varieties of the Ahmedabad brocades, one being thick and
costly, while the other is known as the banarasi, after Benares, from which town
the pattern was originally obtained. This is the thinner and comparatively
cheaper material. The kinkhab generally now produced and sold at Ahmeda-
bad is not as superior as it formerly was, for inferior foreign gold and silver
thread is substituted in the place of the purer Indian material. It was
therefore necessary to have specimens carefully manufactured for the Exhi-
bition, and Mr. Griffiths thus secured twelve magnificent specimens, eleven of
the finest kinkhab and one of the banarasi,. Such pieces are called rumals, and
used for covering presents sent to high state officials. Of the latter variety a
great number of samples illustrate the different patterns. A pair -of light
blue curtains with the keri or mango design worked in gold is specially
to be admired, Besides the gold and silver hinkhab, the Surat weavers employ
differently coloured silk itself in producing the effect in lieu of the gold
and silver thread. There is a large exportation to Siam of gold and silver
brocade in the form of loin cloths, which are used by the princes and nobles of
that country. A variety of Surat brocade, in which the design is partly
worked in coloured silk and partly in bullion thread, is known as jaridano.
One silk and cotton brocade is called nababi himro from the fact of this particu-
lar pattern being exclusively appropriated for the last four or five generations
to the use of the families of the Nabob of Surat. Although a mixed material the
cotton warp is so covered by the silk weft as not to be visible, and thus enables
devout Mussulmans to comply with the law which prohibits them from
wearing garments of pure silk, There are numerous specimens of that
peculiar pattern, the bandhdna or knot-dyeing, which gave its name to the old
bandanna handkerchief. The surface of the undyed cloth is divided into one-
inch squares by the draughtsman or chitarnav.. The knotter or bandhanaro
picks up a little cloth at each corner of the squares, and ties it into a knot
according to the pattern. When knotted all over, the cloth is dyed the colour

Hindu Screen.—The screens of the Bengal Art-ware Court are an attempt to
illustrate, chiefly by means of papier-mdché castings, the styles of architectural
Hy || ornament characteristic of the best Hindu and Muhammadan buildings in Bengal
i Proper. The Northern screen is adapted from the temple of Krishna at Kantan-
agar, near J)inajpur, built between 1704 and 1722 a.p. This temple forms an
excellent example of the brick architecture of Lower Bengal, and one of its chief
constructive peculiarities, the bent cornice, supposed by the late Mr. Fergusson
to have been copied from the common bamboo hut of the country, has been repro-
duced in the screen. The entire surface of the building is covered with t

Muhammadan Screen.—The Southern or Muhammadan screen was designed by
Mr. Jules Schaumburg," artist to the Geological Survey of India, on the lines of the
architecture of the ancient city of Gaur and its suburb Panduah. Gaur became
the capital of Bengal under Muhammed Bakhtyar Khilji in a.p. 1198, increased
greatly in size and wealth up to its sack by Sher Shah, the Afghan Governor of
Behar in 1537, and was finally abandoned in 1575, under Akbar, in consequence
of a pestilence which devastated the city. The goneral idea of the screen was
derived from the Qadam Rasul Mosque, built by Nusrah Shah in 1530, the flat
pilasters bulging outwards at the bottom are adapted from the tomb of Sultan
Ghyasuddin (1211-1227), known as the Eklahi Mosque, at Pandua, while tho
detailed ornamentation consists of casts taken from the remains of these and
other buildings preserved in the Indian Museum, Calcutta. The painted design
9 at the west end of the screen is a composition from carved stones and tiles in the
museum, and is intended to represent the enamelled tiles with which the Gaur
and Pandua buildings were overlaid.
Carving.—Of the stucco mouldings which are characteristic of many houses
in Bengal, those in Dacca are most remarkable for their beauty. The specimens
exhibited were obtained with difficulty, as the work is but little.in demand, and
the industry is dying out. Sculpture generally has almost died out in Bengal,
The great temples of Orissa and the ruins in Chutia Nagpur and Lessar
show that in ancient times sculpture was a flourishing industry. Formerly
Dinhat, a town in Burdwan, annually turned out large numbers of images of
Krishna and the Sivaite symbols, but this trade also has declined. The clay
models of Krishnagur on the other hand belong to an industry which, origina-
ting in the manufacture of sacred images, gradually extended its scope to the
representation of every form of social life. The life-sized figures which in the
Economic Court illustrate the ethnology of India, and the models which faith-
fully represent the rural village and the different operations of agricultural life,
are all constructed at Krishnagur. Calcutta also supplies clay models, two of
which represent the goddess Durga, otherwise known as the “ terrible Kali,”
wife of the god Siva the Destroyer. The annual festival called Durga Puja,
held in Bengal in her honour, is the greatest holiday of the Hindu population.
The north, south, east and west gates of the celebrated temple of Jaggernath at
,ay be examined in carefully-executed models.
vellery.—The chief centres in Bengal of the manvfarture of jewellery aro
, Cuttack, and Calcutta. The silver filigrain work in which the people
of _uttack have attained such surpassing skill and delicacy, is, Sir George
Birdwood remarks, “identical in character with that of Arabia, Malta, Genoa,

Norway, Sweden, and Denmark, and with ‘the filigrain ‘work of Ancient
Greece, Byzantium, and Etruria, and was probably carried into the west by the
Phoenicians and’ Arabs, and into Scandinavia by the Normans. In Cuttack
the work is generally done by boys, whose sensitive fingers and keener sight
enable them to put the fine silver threads together with tho necessary rapidity
and accuracy. It is quite distinct in character from the indigenous silver |
jewellery of the country.”
Jewellery to suit’ European taste, such as necklets and necklaces, bracelets,
lockets, pendants, and brooches, hairpins, shoebuckles, and other articles,
are extensively manufactured for export, but the personal ornaments and
attardans and panhattas, or receptacles for perfume and betel, are in great
demand amongst the Bengalis. Gold and silver filigrain is also largely
manufactured at Dacca. The Nawab Ahsanulla ‘has lent a good collection of
personal ornaments and boxes, among which one is specially remarkable, and
silver models of elephants, &o. It is said that the demand forDacca silver ware
has increased of late, while that for Cuttack has diminished. The Maharajah
of ‘Dinajpur also exhibits a collection of the characteristic silver jewellery of
that’ place, which shows highly interesting primitive forms, strongly recalling
the ancient torques of the Celtic races. ‘he State of Hill Tipperah exhibits a:
collection of work resembling the Cuttack ware. An envelope case is specially
worthy of notice. Gold jewellery’ worn by tho higher classes in Bengal is
chiefly made in Calcutta. ‘The different shapes ar~ illustrated in the exhibition
of cheap jewellery made in gilt metal. These ornaments aro chiefly used by
women who are too poor to afford real gold or silver ornaments, and by native
dancers or singers, and are brought from Bonpash Kaémérpara, in Burdwan,
where the kdmdrs or blacksmiths carry on their hereditary manufacture.
Mahommedans, who are the professional electroplaters of Bengal, wash and
gild the ornaments, giving them a complete finish. In the “Industrial Arts of
India,” it is stated that at’ Dacca a considerable quantity of gold and silver
plate of good original design and excellent workmanship is made. The Bengal
Committee, however, report that but little gold or silver plate work is executed
by the natives of Bengal. From Murshidabad an drdkdan is exhibited, while
three specimens of the primitive Thibetan work have been sent from Daérjfling.
The Calcutta Government School of Art shows a collection of copper repoussé
work made by the students. Vessels of bell-metal, brass or copper, arc used in
every native household. Hindus use brass and bell-metal ware for domestic
and copper for religious purposes, while the Mahommedans prefer tinned |
copper vessels. Khankra, near Murshidabad, and Janjharpur near Darbhangah,
have the best reputation for plain polished work. Hugli, Gaya, Moharbhanj, and
Calcutta, are the only places where there is any carving worth notice, and it

cannot bear comparison with that executed in other provinces. The cut figures’
of deities from Gaya’and Moharbhanj are quaint in design, but without finish.)
The collection: of spittoons, watercups, drinking vessels, chillumchis, plates and!
bowls, &c., was purchased in the Calcutta Bazaar. It consists of articles manu-
factured in Calcutta or brought from the districts of Bankura, Burdwan,
Howrah, Ahmedabad, and Murshidabad. The large and smallor brass spittoons
are specialities of the village of Belur in the Howrah district. Good specimens
of the best bell-metal wares’ manufactured in Murshidabad will be found
amongst them. Birbhum furnishes a large collection; and Rangpur sends two
examples of Chilmari cups, so called from the place of their manufacture; one
(894) is a nest of nine bell-metal cups, locally called a gdnjé bati; The next is
a tumbler with a cup below and another at the top, with a small plate covered
over with a eonical cover. This is called ganja gelés, and is generally used
for carrying tiffin, &e.
The inlaid or bidré ware made at’ Purniah' and Murshidabad is well
represented, though, in the Process of manufacture, both as regards the
combined metal of copper and zinc, of which the vare is made, and the mode
of ‘inlaying the gold and silver, whether it be leaf for the inferior or wire
for the best articles, there is an’ essential difference between the original
manufacture of ‘Bidar arid that of Bengal. ‘In tho first the. ground ‘colour
is as a rule white, while the ornamental ‘patterns are in black. In the second
the ground is black, the tracing and figures’ being of silver and white. A
htiké lent by the Nawab of Murshidabad is gold, inlaid on a black ground.
The ornaments of the Purniah ware are sometimes of a Chinese character,
probably introduced by way of Sikkim or Bhotan.
The inland work of Monghyr, consisting of highly-polished ebony inlaid
with ivory, is the only manufacture of its kind in Bengal, but the superior
attractions’ of the more lucrative employment on the East India Railway
are said to have reduced the number of Hindu carpenters engaged in this
industry to six or eight. The ivory carving of Murshidabad is under the
active patronage of the Mahérini Swarnamiyi, M.C.I., of Kasimbazar, and the
Nawab of Murshidabad, and is held to be the best in Bengal, but trade is
said to be on the decline. It is also carried on in Patna, Dacca, Orissa,
Rangpur, Hill Tipperah and Sarun. The Murshidabad work is exemplified
by a collection of models of the goddess Durga, a bullock cart and native
woman going to bathe, lent by the Maharaja of Dinajpur, and a collection of
palkis boats, personal ornaments, ploughmen and ploughs, &c. The Maharani
Swarnaméyi has offered the carved elephant with state howdah and figures
(798), and the carved stick (797), as presents to Her Majesty the Queen,
Empress of India, and H.R.H. the Prince of Wales respectively, at the close

of the Exhibition. Among the other carvings are figures of prominent
personages of the Hindu mythology. An ivory hat and an ivory fan (1480-1), are
presentations from H.H, the Maharaja of Hill Tipperah to H.R.H. the Prince of
Wales.
Lacquered Wares.—The lacquered wares of Ilambazar in Birbhum, and of
Murshidabad, are the best in Bengal. The models of fruits and vegetables are
not good, nor is much artistic taste shown in the colouring, but the polish
of the surfaces shows great care in the manipulation. The Patna cups
and boxes have better pretensions to design, but their workmanship is rude
and unfinished. Tho Shahabad playing cards, made of pieces of talc lacquered
and jpainted, are a noteworthy specimen of Indian art, and amongst the
Murshidabad gold-spangled articles some are worthy of notice.
At late Exhibitions there have been seen no specimens of Bengal wood
carving. The present collection shows that the art, though not much practised,
still exists. The models of the temples constructed at Barakhar, Cuttack, and
Dinajpur, are good samples of the Bengali skill in carpentry, The Gaya
carving, both old and modern, can be studied in the specimens of old doorways
and balconies, and the new doorway made at Gaya.
Calcutta Government School of Art furnishes a gambhar-wood (Gmelina
arborea, Row.) jewel-box carved after Hindu ornamental designs, by Babu
Harish Chandra, the teacher of wood carving in the School of Art, Calcutta.
The five repoussé copper electro-plated panels fixed on the top and sides are
made by Babu Saratchandra Das, a student of the same school. The designs
in these are taken from Bhubaneswar Temple, in Orissa.
Four sets of ornaments, each consisting of necklace, a pair of bracelets, a
pair of rings, and a brooch, are exhibited from Monghyr. One is of buffalo horn,
two of ebony, and the fourth is a curious set made out of betel nuts, and a
remarkable stick made of betel nuts joined together, with an ivory handle,
made at Sarun, is noted as presented by the Maharaja Krishna Pratab Sahai
of Hatwa, to the Government of Bengal.

manufactures are illustrated by a large collection in the Imperial Court. The
pottery of Bengal is more remarkable for its shape than for external finish
or decoration. Dinajpur contributes the best forms. Messrs. Burn & Co.’s
Ramganj Pottery Works turn out excellent pottery, though not of an oriental
desoription. The black and red pottery wares of Sarun, consisting of cups,

saucers, goblets, teapots, &c., are said to be a manufacture introduced from
Azingash. In unglazed pottery the Calcutta Government School of Art sends
@ variety of patterns, such as the lizard pattern, the monkey pattern, the
trimurti pattern, bearing figures of Brahma, Vishnu, and Mahadeva, the swan,
and lotus patterns. In the Patna glass ware there is a strong inclinatiog
manifested to imitate European work.
Textile Fabrics.—With the exception of the celebrated Dacca muslins, the
Murshidabad and Bankura silks and the Tasar silks, the fabrics of Bengal are
not of a high order of excellence, Notwithstanding the supercession of native-
made cotton fabrics by the cheaper piece goods of Manchester, which has taken
place generally throughout the country, the former are still woven in small quan-
tities in every district. A collection of cotton fabrics bought in Howrah Bazaar,
and those made in Dinajpur and in the Chittagong and Hill Districts, show
generally the style of native-made cloths worn in Bengal. In the first collec-
tion it is believed that no Indian dyes, with the exception of indigo, are used.
The twist and the dyes are imported, and the dhotis and saris are woven in
the villages. The country-woven cloths are more durable than imported piece-
goods, but their comparatively high prices prevent their being commonly worn.
The colours in the cloths from the Hill 'I'rbes are firm and durable, while the
designs are generally good. The kokti cloth, which resembles the well-known
kaki used for hot-weather uniforms, and is superior to it in that it does not
change colour or fade, is manufactured in Purnia, Muzafferpur and, Dharbanga.
A large collection of well-made: cotton fabrics of European fashion is sent by
Messrs. Thakur Prosad Shaw and Co. of Dinapur.
fine votton stuffs still continues.
The celebrated muslins of Dacca are still represented, but the exquisite
fineness of the historical manufacture is a thing of the past. Sir George Bird-
wood tells us that in the time of Jehangir, muslin could be manufactured
15 yds. long and 1 yd. broad, weighing only 900 grains and worth £40. Now
the finest piece of that size weighs 1600 grains, and is worth only £10. Rare
muslins, which were named the “dew of the evening,” and “ running water,”
because they became invisible on the wet grass or in a stream, no longer exist
Several fine specimens of the present manufacture are exhibited by the Nawab
Ahsanulla. Others are sent for sale. The muslins are now generally made of
English twist, but the ‘finer sorts of Indian twist. The weaving of the latter
is carried on during the rains, and in the early morning and evening, as there
is not enough moisture in the air at other times, and the warp would break.
In dry hot weather it is necessary when weaving the finest fabrics to keop
shallow vessels of water beneath the net, the evaporation from which keeps the
warp moist. Pubna produces the finest plain dotis and saris manufactured in

Bengal. They are only made to order for the rich and well-to-do members of
society.
Oharkhana or coloured checks, known as Mynamati cloths from the place’of
their manufacture, are made in Tipperah, and said to be prepared from cotton
grown in the state. Some of the checked and striped patterns display great
taste. Cotton printing with country block prints was formerly a considerable:
manufacture in Bengal, but the introduction of Manchester goods has almost
destroyed ‘the ‘trade. Calcutta and the Districts of Darbhangah, Sarun and
Patna are the only places in Bengal whore this art is still carried on. Speci-
mens from Patna show that the fabrics are only stamped in colours, but in
the Calcutta goods the patterns are first struck off with carved tamarind wood
blocks smeared with a peculiar sort of dye stuff, and then boiled in a sa
solution which leaves a reddish colour in the cloth that does not fade.
Carpets are the only woollen fabrics made in Bengal. The Darjiling fabrics
and rugs exhibited are manufactured in Thibet and used by Thibetans. The
carpets made in the Hazaribagh and Bhagalpur jails are perhaps the best. The
Patna carpets are marred by their texture and aniline dyes.
The chief silk-producing districts in Bengal are Murshidabad and Ban-
kura. Large collections are sent from these two places, and also from Midna-
pur. Pieces of silk, probably of Chinese design, are shown from Darjiling, ’
which also sends ‘coats, hats and dancing dresses. Maldah dyed silks are
represented by saris of “peacock neck” colour, “sky” colour, and “sunshine
and shade,” which is a ‘shot silk. Some white silks from Murshidabad are
excellent examples. They are manufactured chiefly from Marchband silk, which —
is the best of the kind for whiteness and glossy and soft textures. Worthy of
notice are five pieces of unbleached silk cloth, representing the well-known
corahs.
In'mixed fabrics Bhagalpur sends specimens of a cloth called bafta, which
is made of tasar silk in the warp, and cotton in the weft. This is described as
very durable, and is in great demand both by Europeans and natives. The
bafta cloth is of uniform colour, being dyed after being woven. The renowned
embroideries of Murshidabad, the embroidered muslin of Dacca and Patna make
@ varied and attractive exhibition. The collections of Dacca and Calcutta
embroideries are believed to be the most comprehensive that have yet been
mnade. The embroidery known as kasidc, which is executed with the wild muga\
or tasar silk, is a manufacture considerally on the increase, the pieces being
largely exported by Arab merchants to Aden, Persia and Turkey: for turbans,

NEPAL COURT.
Adjoining the Bengal Court is the small but highly interesting court,
devoted to the Art-ware of the little-known territory of Nepal, which stretches
from the southern ranges of the Himalayas twenty miles into the “ plain” and
700 miles along the Northern India frontier.
square miles, and the population is guessed rather than reckoned at about
two millions. Although, adverse to the admission of European tourists into
the valleys of Nepal, the Government has co-operated with the Resident in
furnishing a small court with examples of the special arts and industries which
belong almost exclusively to the Newars, whom the Ghurkhas conquered about
1768, becoming thus the dominant race.
The Screen.—The front face of the screen, which is double, consists of a
large central plaque, and two smaller side plaques of carved birch wood, divided
and. bordered by panels of carved satisal wood.
The central plaque is a copy, half the actual scale of a windess above the
entrance of an ancient Newar Vihar; or monastery in the town Patan, The
original window must be from two to three hundred years old. All the details
have been faithfully copied in the replica, The side plaques are copies on a
reduced scale of windows frequently seen in old Newar buildings—either
monasteries, temples, darbars, or private dwellings. The inner face of the
screen is of .carved birch-wood, the patterns shown being reproductions of
types of ancient Newar decorative carving. The double row of pillars and
arches supporting the screen are copied from the enclosure of the temple at
Tripureswar, on the banks of the river Baghmati near Katmandu. The carving
of the front face of the central arch is supposed to represent cloudy sky, the
winged figures being angels, or the substitute for them in Newar mythology,
and the dragons symbols of lightning.
Two models give good types of the peculiar temple architecture of Nepal,
and the architectural wood carving, which is by far the most important
decorative art to be found in the country, is exemplified not only in the screen,

but.in a great number of specimens of pillars, doorways, arches, balconies, &o..,
The carving is artistic in the highest degree. Figures of gods, demons, snakes, ,
and, animals of all sorts, wreaths and flowers and intricate patterns, are worked
on balconies and windows, the proportions of which are as graceful and true as
the details are elaborate. This work is done by a class of Newars called
lokarmi. Unfortunately the industry is fast falling into abeyance from a com-
bination of causes, of which perhaps the greatest is the expensiveness of the
work. An interesting object is the front of a Nepalese pati or verandah,
resting-place erected by the pious for the accommodation of travellers. It isa
copy in sal wood of a pati of some antiquity in the town of Pattan.
A curious set of musical instruments includes both wind instruments and
drums and tambourines, which are believed to be peculiar to the country.
The jewellery exhibited shows that Nepalese gold and silversmiths are not
particularly skilful, but occasionally some good filigree work is seen in the
sheaths of tulwars and other weapons. Several of the designs for rings, head
ornaments, &o., are peculiar and not seen elsewhere. The military head-
dresses are peculiar to the country, worn by the highest class, are of great
value, and composed almost entirely of diamonds, pearls, and emeralds set in
silver.
The brass and copper wares are examples of the work done by Newars at
Pattan. They include lotas, balls, bells, lamps, and religious objects. A great
deal of brass-work is done by Newars at Pattan, and the designs of some of the
lamps are quaint and artistic. The pagoda-like temples are hung with little
bells, to the clappers of which are attached broad leaf-shaped pieces of brass.
These are set in motion by the wind, and a continual tinkle is kept up.
Besides others, two classes of bells are largely manufactured. One made of
brass is used in Hindu temples. The other of mixed metal is used by Buddh-
ists. The bows and arrows, targets of rhinoceros hide, and other arms
exhibited, may be classed as obsolete arms, though bows and arrows are still
used in some parts of the Terai. The kora is a carved tulwar, the extremity of
the blade widening so as to somewhat resemble the blade of an axe. It was
formerly used in warfare, but at present only in beheading bullocks for
sacrifice. The animal’s head is taken off at one blow.
In the cotton and silk fabrics, there are specimens of Nepalese homespun
cloth, but the materials of the other cotton and silk clothing are imported. A
very curious object amongst the saddlery is a saddle in use in the households of
wealthy Nepalese. It is strapped on the backs of male or female servants,
whose duty it is to carry their masters and mistresses up and down stairs, or
from one part of the house to another. A Nepalese lady of rank will scarcely ,
walk from one room to the next.

N. W. Provinces and Oudh Court.
NORTH-WEST PROVINCES AND OUDH COURT.
The North-Western Provinces and Oudh, forming together the upper
portion of the great valley of the Ganges, have an area of 106,111 square miles,
and a total population of 44,000,000. Allahabad is the present seat of Govern-
ment, transferred from the ancient Moghal city of Agra, while Lucknow is the
former capital of tho Kingdom of Oudh. These are all seats and centres of art
manufactures, and Agra, in particular, boasts the possession of the glorious
monuments of Moghal magnificence, affection and piety contained in the Taj-
Mahal, the most beautiful building in India—perhaps in the world—and the
great Fort with its mosques and palaces. In political connection with the
Government of the North-Western Provinces are the two Native States Rampur
and Gurwhal.
The eoreens were arranged in three divisions. The first of these, a row of
pillars inlaid with precious stones, taken from a large number of pillars of similar
design now lying in the fort of Agra, are a gift from the Government of the
Ynited Provinces to the National Collection at South Kensington. They have
been erected in an external recess of the Indian Palace on the right hand of the
Gwalior stone arch. The inlaid work on the pillars is similar to much of that on
the world-famed Taj, and it is supposed that they were constiucted in view of
extending the buildings known as the Diwan-i-khas. Before, however, the
pillars could be erected, Agra was taken and held for a time by Sooraj Mull,
the neighbouring Raja of Bharatpur, by whom the pillars were apparently buried
previous to the town being recovered from him.
The next consists entirely of stone-carving executed at Muttra and Agra
for the Royal Commission. The trellised screens are faithful copies of similar
screens in the T'aj and at Fatehpur Sikri, respectively, while the open arches are
in like manner copies of work to be seen in the Agra Fort and Fatehpur Sikri.
The third consists entirely of wood-work. The ends of the Court are
furnished by workmen from the districts of Bulandshahr and Mainpuri, while
the frontage to the extent of 50 feet is occupied by carved wood-work, the
greater portion of which has been dug out of ancient houses in Lucknow City
under demolition as ruinous from age. Necessarily, to adapt the screen to the
dimensions insisted on, some fresh wood has had to be added, but in the main this
portion represents the style of doors, arches, &c., to be seen in the Lucknow
bazaars. Owing to the decay of the older part of the city, house demolition is
an every-day ocourrence, and not a few doors, as delicately carved as this
example, are to be found a prey to white ants and weather in the timber yards.
The remaining portion of the frontage was executed at Farukhabad from

merchant of that city, and is the copy of the frontage of a verandah erected a
few years ago in the Seth’s house.
Carving.—The stone-carving of Agra, which.one portion of the screen illus-
trates, is applied to stone trellis-work and exquisitely fine work in marble and
alabaster. This is a legacy from the golden age: of Agra, when the: skilled
workmen of Rajputana were imported to carve the white marbles of Jeypore and
the red sandstone of Bhurtpur, with which respectively the great forts and
mosques: of Delhi and Agra and the palaces of Fatehpur Sikri were built and
decorated. The marble teapoys, plates, boxes, and paper weights, inlaid, with
precious stones and mother-o’-pearl, in like manner represent the revival of the
art which was applied by Austin of Bordeaux to the decorations of the Taj-Mahal,
and of which the early form is shown by tho pillars described above.
Carved sandstone ware is also executed by the workers in the inlaid
marbles; and here may be mentioned the model from Mirzapur, illustrating
a Hindu temple such as are found in various parts of Upper India. The district
of Mirzapur is described as abounding in good stones and good workmen.
Jewellery.—The manufacture of Lucknow jewellery, though like the trade of
the Jauharis, or dealers in precious stones, it has declined since the abolition of
the luxurious and splendid court, still maintains its excellence, though not its
extent. A speciality of Lucknow is what is known as diamond-cut silver
ornaments. Facets are cut and burnished which, when in the. form of stars,
bear at a distance a strong resemblance to the flashing of a diamond, .'The
best, and it might almost be said the only, collection under. this heading
comes from Lucknow itself; but Rae Bareli and Jhansi send single examples.
The gold and silver ware, as distinguished from jewellery, show consider-
able variety in designs and in work, some of which is engraved, some repoussé,
some in plain silver, others in silver-gilt, and others enamelled.
One of the more notable seats of the manufacture of bidri ware, already
described, is the same city of Lucknow, where it has been an increasing trade
for some years. The number of manufacturers engaged in 1881 was 13,.and
the next year 31. A modified form of bidri work called zarbuland is made, at
Lucknow, in which the patterns are slightly raised and not set even with the
surface, as in the ordinary bidri ware. This is an imitation of many kinds of
copper and brass ware—especially those of the Punjab—in which the, white
silver designs stand out in relief on a red or yellow ground of the, copper
or brass vessels. The process followed in the manufacture of zarbuland is
nearly the same as that of the ordinary bidri, except that, instead of excavating
the patterns for the gold or silver plates, the ornamental designs are raised
above the surface and chased.

late, and is now applied to innumerable articles of household and general
use, Of which 44' examples are shown. Ebony is the principal material,
relieved by silver and mother-o’-pearl mounts in the more elaborate and
accordingly more expensive designs. There is nothing characteristic except
the mate. ‘al which is in the Banda exhibits of lapidaries’ work. The
agates are procured from the bed of the river Ken, and are chiefly used
in making articles of European design. ‘
Cotton Weaving.—The cotton fabrics in this Court are almost all of the
finest sorts manufactured in the North-Western provinces. Notwithstanding
the competition of Manchester fabrics, the great cotton-weaving industry of
Oudh still holds its ground, although the Jolahdrs, or hand-loom weavers
of Lucknow, are reported by Mr. Hoey as finding their trade so diminishing
that they are emigrating from the city, or seeking other occupations.
The exhibits comprise fine specimens of the muslins of Sikanderabad,
turban cloths fringed with gold, handkerchiefs, &c, These are distinguished,
not only by their fineness, but by the use of gold thread as a border
The woven pattern muslins from Jais, Rae Bareli, are the most famous of
the textile manufactures of that place. The weavers have a curious art of
interweaving at the time of manufacture any design that may be suggested
to them. Verses and sentences are most common, and are suggested by
every taste and creed. Some are passages from the Koran, others from the
Vedas, and others from Dr. Watts’s moral songs and hymns. At Lucknow
muslin is still largely manufactured, being preferred for embroidery
purposes to English muslin. The woven pattern muslin of Benares rivals
in its delicacy the famous product of the Dacca looms, and the Rampur
cotton damask, either plain or with borders and coloured thread, or
interwoven with gold thread, received a gold medal at the Calcutta
Exhibition.
Cotton Printing.—Cotton-printing is still a successful calling in Lucknow,
notwithstanding they have to compete with Manchester chintzes sold for one
shilling a yard, while the native handiwork costs one shilling and eightpence ;
but the Lucknow chintzes are far superior in the colour, the Kukrail and Baita
rivers being famous for the purity of tints that their waters give to the deep-toned
dyes of India. The hand-stamped chintzes of Fatehpur, of which there are
four pieces, may be noted as more elaborate in design, and on a larger
scale. The patterns and work of the cotton carpets of Bulandshahr, Agra,
and Aligarh, are various, and they are of ‘all sizes, the best being used as
small prayer carpets for Mussulman devotions.
Embroidery.—The chikan or hand-worked flower muslin of Lucknow is in:
great demand in all parts of India. The material embroidered is the tanzeb or

locally manufactured muslin, of which samples are separately exhibited. The
pattern is stamped in a thick solution of red ochre, or a red dye extracted from
lac, by a chhipi or cotton printer, who does no other work. Mr. Hoey says,
speaking of the embroidery, that little girls, five or six years of age, may be seen
sitting at the doors of houses busily moving their tiny fingers over a piece of
tanzeb and working flowers, for which they are paid the poor price of a paisa (#d.)
for the 100 flowers. It is by this early beginning that chikan workers attain the
great skill they do in embroidery. One piece of 9} yards long, worked in good
style with diagonal stripes and flowers, will contain 560 yards of the stripe and
560 flowers. ‘The embroiderer is paid only four rupees for all this work. Tho
13 pieces of the Benares kinkhabs, or cloth-of-gold brocades, call for no special
remarks, but command attention as the most effective of all the fabrics shown.
Gold and Silver Lace.—The celebrated gold and silver embroideries and laces
of Lucknow are divided into kamdani, or muslins hand-embroidered in gold
thread, and used for capes, dress pieces, &c. and zardozi, which include velvet
‘and cloth embroidered with gold and silver thread, shawls, caps, laces, &c. This
is worked in the same manner as the Delhi karchob.. The gold and silver lace is,
however, a separate staple manufacture. In both the embroidery anc the lace the
gold or silver wire is drawn to that extraordinary fineness which is obtainable
all over India, by the patient and skilful wire-drawers, who will produce nearly
800 yards of silver-gilt wire from a rupee’s worth of silver. The thread
employed for gold or silver lace is beaten with a hammer into a flattened
thread, and the only difference between weaving cotton and weaving gold lace,
is that the cadla, or gold or silver thread which makes the woof, is not put in a
shuttle, but is passed between the thread of the warp, ona nari or bobbin.
Most of the articles are for the native market ; but European demand for slippers,
and other goods, has given an impetus to the manufacture. From Agra
embroidered scarves and gold lace in rolls are also shown.
THE PUNJAB COURT.
The Punjab Province, including the territory surrounding’ Delhi, contains
106,632 square miles, and a population of 18,850,437 souls. There are 34
native states in connection with the Punjab, comprising an area of nearly
36,000 square miles, and 2,000,000. of inhabitants. Both these estimates,
drawn from the last Moral and Material Progress Report, are much below the
estimate given in the Gazetteer of India.
The Screen.—The screen consists of two arcades, each 100 feet in length,
losed by four end arcades of three arches, each 12 ft. 6 in. in length. One

of the longer arcades is wrought in shisham (Dalbergia sissu), the cabinet wood]
of the Punjab, and was made at Udoki, a village in the Amritear district, by
large family of Sikh carpenters, headed by Gopal Singh and Ganga Singh
Carpentry has long been a favourite occupation of the Sikhs, and this portion is
a fair sample of their skill, The pillars are slightly varied in detail, and the
proportion of the parts is according to the received canons of to-day as derived
from Moghul architecture. The spandrils or mihrabs, owing to tho conditions
involved in the sizes specified on the sketch-plan furnished as a guide, are
somewhat insignificant in their proportions, but there are numerous examples of
precisely this form both in old and modern work. The horizontal panels are i
framed geometric lattices (not perforated), locally known as Pinjra, literally
“‘ cage-work,” strongly resembling the lattice work seen in Arabic architecture
This is, perhaps, the most characteristic feature of Punjab wood-work, and it. i
valuable as producing a peculiar effect of repose. One set of the horizonta
panels is in shisham wood inlaid with ivory, and was made at Bassi Ghulan
Hussain, near Hushiarpur. The cresting and the finials are forms in actus
use. The whole of the work, indeed, is such as is wrought for the best clas
of constructions every day in the Punjab.
The similar length opposite is in deodar or Himalayan cedar (Cedru
deodara), and is the work of various hans in Lahore, notably Chanda Sing
and Lena Singh, also Sikhs. Deodar wood is full of resin, and consequently i

feature in Punjab architectural design. The carved panels from Sialkot are
intended for use in furniture.
Jewellery.—The special catalogue states that the selection of gold and silver-
smiths’ work for personal adornment has been limited by circumstances to purely
popular forms. Most of the ornaments in ordinary use in the Punjab will be
found, but there are very few of a costly kind. The great variety of the articles
will, however, furnish a good illustration of the universal use of silver orna-
ments by all ages and all classes in India. It has been well said that the
quantity and quality of jewellery worn by women is a sure and safo criterion
of the prosperity of the people. It is an investment for savings easily con-
vertible in case of need.
Enamels—Enamelled jewellery from Kangra, Multan, and Bahawalpur are
good examples of the Punjab branches of silver enamelling. Bahawalpur
patterns are chiefly of the conventional flowers in panels, scrolls and geometric
diapers and probably are of the same origin as the Multan enamel which Mr.
Baden Powell states to have been first made by a jeweller named Naulu, 400
years ago. The colours generally employed are blue, black, yellow, and several
shades of orange, brickdust red or pink. The enamels from Kangra and Kulu
also are remarkable for the excellency of their blues. None of these, however,
equal the Jeypore enamels described in the Rajputana Court.
The damascened work or koft, which was formerly extensively practised on
the arms and armour made in the chief towns of the Punjab, is now only found
in Sialkot and at Gujerat. ‘The articles made are chiefly ornamental small
wares for decorative purposes. The art consists in incrusting or inlaying a
wire of ore metal, usually gold or silver, on another in ornamental patterns.
Gold and steel are the favourite materials. In the best examples (tar-i-nishan)
the pattern is first incised, and the wire is laid in. In the ordinary work of
the Punjab, the ivon or steel is first roughened all over, and tho gilded silver
wire is laid on in foliated patterns, and burnished into its place. The ground

chaste and ornamental brass wares are considered to be beautiful in both form
and workmanship. It is noted that copper engraving on tin is employed by
Mahommedans, while brass, tinned or plain, is preferred by the Hindus. This —
at least is the opinion of Mr. Kipling. The Ludiana locks in the form of
animals, and with a European lever action, are curious. Two sets of wares for
ilindu worship are shown from Gurgaon and Sialkot. A set comprises a tashla,
or dish in which idols receive ablutions; the arha, a vessel of symbolic shape; a
singasan, or stand for idols; the arti, or sacrificial lamp; the bell; the charmanti,
or spoon ; and the kauli, or vessel for mixing sandal-wood paste. The prevalence
of Mahommedanism has prevented any development of figure casting in the
countries known collectively as the Funjab. The idols of Amritsar are
primitive and poor in design, and it is stated, on the authority of Mr, Kipling,
that the upper classes of Hindus care very little for idols of any kind, and the
preferences of the lower classes are for the more monstrous personages of their
mythology.
The Golden Temple.—This brief allusion to religious differences as influencing
art may serve +o call attention to the Amritsar door in beaten copper-work, which
is in the style of some of the beaten silver doors at the golden temple of the
Darbar Sahib of the Sikhs. The upper part of the temple itself is sheathed in
beaten work of copper richiy gilded, whence it derives its name. The model of
this holiest shrine of the Sikh religion, which, like Mahommedanism, excludes
all iconic forms, or what are commonly termed idols, from its worship, has been
made by Sikh carpenters. The only object, if it may be so called, of worship
in this golden temple, is the Adi Granth or holy scriptures of the Sikhs. In
this temple, as in all others, a copy of the holy book is exposed to the venera-
tion of the pilgrims on an ottoman, and it is ceremonially covered with
magnificent kinkhabs and silk wrappers, while an attendant sits by waving a
chauri.
Arms.—Among the arms and armour, the more notable are the matchlocks
made at Kohat, and the sword-belt with its numerous appendages from Dera
Ghazi Khan, which is an exceptionally good example of the taste and skill which,
amongst the warlike population of the frontier, are often lavished on war
trappings. At Sialkot chain-mail suits and Char Aina, or four plate suits of
armour, are still made for the retinues of some native chiefs, and for sale to
Europeans. Gujeranwala has a reputation for offensive arms as well as for
more innocent cutlery, for which Nizamabad is especially known. The finish
and polish of the articles, though not perfect, is better than the quality of the
steel, which, although tough, is deficient in hardness, and often hardly to be
distinguished from good iron. Old files of English manufacture are, however,
sometimes forged into daggers and knives of good quality, but the country iron

is generally used. By an ingenious process of etching, the wavy lines called
jauhar, the Tersian smith’s work so much prized on old blades, are imitated. A
ground of fine lime mixed with micilage is laid over the blade, and when
nearly set the artificer dextrously removes the line with his thumb in fine lines
which have a certain resemblance to the lines of welded and twisted steel.
Sulphate of iron is then applied, to bite in these lines, No expert. however, can
be taken in by these marks, as close examination shows the grain of the thumb.
A rude form of penknife, with immovable blade, a turned-up point and wooden
handle, is said to be the only article of Nizamabad cutlery which has a large
local sale. }
Carved Chair.—Under the heading “ Carved Furniture and Carpentry,” is a
curious chair contributed by the Municipality of Lahore, which is a relic of the
period of the Sikh rule, and belonged to Gen. Ilahi Baksh, who commanded the
Khalsa artillery. The ivory inlay of Hushiarpur is well represented by cabinets,
chairs, tables, &c. &c., made of shisham wood inlaid with ivory. This industry
is of recent growth, owing much of its present character to the exertions of
Mr. W. Coldstream, C.S. Wood inlay is understood to a limited extent by most
of: the more skilful mistrie, or carpenters, of the Punjab, who employ box and
other white woods upon shisham, or the latter upon the yellow deodar. Boxwood
inlaid in shisham is the main feature of three tables from Lahore and Amritsar.
Brass inlay is practised in Hushiarpur, but the best work comes from Chiniot.
Lac Turnery.—The examples of lac turnery come from many places in the
Punjab; it is applied not only to ornamental wares, but to necessary domestic
articles, such as legs of bedsteals, stools, and tables, &c.
Native house furniture is exceedingly simple, being limited usually to a
bedstead, one or two low stools, a spinning-wheel, and a few boxes. A part
of each marriage outfit in the Punjab is a charpoy, and a quaint, high-backed
stool of turned wood, ornamented with lac. Very little painting on wood is
now done, and the lac surface, obtained by pressing what is virtually a stick of
coloured sealing-wax on an object revolving in the lathe, is a harder and more
solid covering than any paint. The heat developed by friction melts the lac;
further friction with the dry stem of a palm leaf, held endwise, and a final
application of an oiled rag of muslin, polish a coat of colour which resists dust,
the great heat of the hot weather, and the damp of ihe rains. But there are
many refinements in this most simple art. In Sindh and in the Punjab, layer
upon layer of coloured lac are laid. Then, with a stylus, these coats are
scratched through in a manner analogous to Italian sgrafito decoration. Sup-
posing red to have been first laid, then green, and lastly black: the black is
scratched through for green leaves, the green and. black for a red flower, and for
a white line all are cut through to the wood. A red-and-green pattern with

white outlines ona black field is thus produced: the Firozepur pattern-
scratching is perhaps the most skilful, while that of Dera Ismail Khan is the
most minute. The wood used is generally Shisham (Dalbergia sissu), but the
tamarisk, acacia, and other non-resinous woods are also employed. The
workmen have recently discovered that aniline colours can be used, and in
consequence the Dera Ismail Khan work has lost the sobriety of dark red, black,
yellow, and silver which used to distinguish it.
Pottery.—Of the Punjab glazed pottery, Delhi contributes 106 specimens of
the modern manufacture, which show that it is quite possible to make a kind of
porcelain with the materials to be procured in the neighbourhood. The paste
or body is artificially composed of powdered stone, held together for moulding
with masala or gum. It cannot, therefore, be easily worked on the wheel, but
is pressed in moulds. The old mosques and tombs in the Punjab, as well as in
Sindh, exhibit beautiful decoration of mosaic and glazed pottery, and tiles of
faience. This art, known as kasi, is still in existence. The specimens of
Jalandhar, Lahore, ard Multan ware contain many reproductions of the decora-
tive tiles, but the original mosaic, in which each leaf and stem was a separate piece,
is only represented pictorially. Except for hookahs and surahis there is no
place in native life for vessels of glazed pottery. One exception to this is
shown from Peshawar, where dishes, the chief of which is the tabak, a large
circular dish of Persian origin, are used for eating from.

only washer-men.

56 The Empire of India.
Waa The bridal dresses, both Hindu and Mahommedan, from Batala, show
one of the rustic uses of the local manufacture. The Bahawalpur silks are
generally striped, and frequently interwoven with gold thread. The present
examples, although not lustrous, have good substance, and seem well adapted
for curtains and the finer class of hangings. H.H. the Nawab of Maha welput
has sent this exhibit.
From Multan come specimens of the mixed silk: and cotton fabrics which
have been before mentioned as only permissible to strict Mussulmans. The
small silk wares, made by the handicraftsmen called patoli, include important
parts of native dress, such as tzarband, a netted silk girdle used by both sexes ;
the paranda, a long silk tasseled tail, which is plaited into a maiden’s hair; the
sezbands, or cords and tassels used to secure the coverlet to the charpoy, or bed
frame, and many other kinds of silk ornaments.
Embroidery.—In embroidery, Phulkari, literally flower-work,is the name applied
to the embroidery wrought by peasant women on the ohrni or sheet which forms
the most important part of their dress. Originally only three colours of cotton
cloth were used. Red, from madder, purple from a combination of madder with
indigo and black or blue-black, which is produced by catechu and indigo. The
colours of the silk are green, two shades of yellow crimson, white, black, and dark
green, and the cloth used for the purpose was almost invariably the homespun
Khadar, a coarse fabric, the rough texture of which, however, is admirably
suited to give depth and solidity of colour when dyed. The Phulkari stitch is
really a darning stitch, and the best patterns were usually those elementary
combinations of the square and triangle which seem to come naturally when
darning a fabric, the threads of which can be easily counted. In some districts
pieces of thin glass, quicksilvered, are inserted, being held in place by a sort of
button-hole stitch.
Of the well-known Delhi embroidery, thirty-seven examples are exhibited
by Messrs. Manna Shan, and display the most notable varieties of modern
work. Besides these, there is the dress of a Delhi dancing-girl and a
bridegroom’s dress. The most costly embroidery is worked with silver-gilt,
or silver wire, drawn out into the fineness of thread; but the bulk of gold
embroidery is done with kaldbdtin, or common gold thread—a body of silk
over wound with a thin flattened wire of gold or silver. There are two
principal kinds of gold embroidery—one solid and rich, called kdr-chob, applied
usually to velvet or cloth for occasions of State, elephant trappings, saddle |
cloths, masnads and carpets spread out before royal seats. It is so named
because the material, whether velvet or cloth, is in the first instance
stretched smooth and tied on a wooden frame; but the art of embroidery
in this style meets now with little demand. The second kind of embroidery |
called kdr-chikan, is done in one operation with a needle charged with gold
thread, the pattern being usually drawn on paper, pricked out with a pin,
and the paper being stretched over the cloth to be embroidered, yellow
colour is put on over the lines of pin-holes, and mark yellow the cloth
beneath. In other cases the pattern is lightly stamped by means of a
wooden block.

reason to believe, considerably increased during the last twenty years, at
the beginning of which time the exports were valued at 4 lakhs of rupees.
A series of examples from nine districts of the Punjab displays the shoes
in general use, and is followed by a similar collection of the sandal or chapli,
worn in Northern India, varying in form ; none of the varieties resemble the
classic shape, with a separate stall for the big toe, worn in Bombay. In
parts of the Himalaya and Kashmir, an elaborately-laced sandal encloses a
sock in soft deerskin, and forms one of the most comfortable foot-coverings
known. The Peshawar sandal is generally embroidered with silk, and
specimens of this kind of unusual excellence are shown from Dera Ghazi
Khan. From Bannu, another frontier district, pretty gold-embroidered
buskins in soft red leather are shown. The resemblance of many of these
to the sandals on the feet of antique statues need scarcely be pointed out.
KASHMIR COURT.
The State of Kashmir extends from the Plain of the Punjab across the
central range of the Himalaya towards Chinese Tartary and Tibet. The
valley of Kashmir forms but a small portion of the whole area, which is
estimated at 801,000 square miles, with about a million and a half inhabitants.
The Maharaja presents annually, by way of tribute to his Suzerain, 1 horse,
12 goats, and 3 pairs of the celebrated Kashmir shawls.
Screen.— The screen for the Kashmir and Frontier States’ Court,” writes
Sir Oliver St. John, Resident in Kashmir, “is copied from the verandah of an
old wooden mosque near Chakoti, on the Kashmir Murree Road, to which the
attention of travellers is invited in Ince’s handbook. The date of its erection
was not, as far as I cuuld find, anywhere marked on the building, but tradition
and the character of the carving seem. to point to the earlier part of the last
century. The pillars, brackets, and architrave beam of the screen are almost
an exact copy of the original both in design and proportion. The side bays,
6 ft. 3 in. each, are identical, and the front bays differ only in that the original
arches, each 5 ft. 24 in. span, have become pillars 10 feet apart surmounted by
brackets. The railing at the top is pinjra work, such as is commonly made and
used throughout Kashmir at the present day. The material is deodar wood.”
Carving.—Besides the screen, examples are shown of the carved wood-work of
Kashmir as applicable to ceilings. These are executed in chil wood (Pinus
excelsa). The Kashmir papier maché, or painted wood-work is, owing to the number
of English officers on furlough, and tourists who visit the country, well known
in English houses. The work goes by the name of kdr-i-kalam-ddni or pen-case
work, and is also called kdr-i-munakash or painted ware. It is done on articles
of either smooth wood or papier-mache by pulping coarse native paper, and
moulding the softened material to the reyuired shape. The article is covered
with 2 coating of white paint, on the surface of which a delicate pattern in
colours, chiefly crimson, green, and biue, is drawn with a fine brush. Flowers
and the coarser designs seen upon shawls are most commonly produced. A very
pretty pattern is also done by painting with gold paimt a spreading series of
minute branches and leaves upox a white ground,—a bordex of brighter colourimg

is added, and sometimes figures of men and animals are introduced. The surface
is varnished over with a varnish made by boiling the clearest copal in pure
turpentine. Ten carved and painted plaques illustrate the method of decorating
ceilings with this work,
The well-known Kashmir silver-gilt plate is illustrated by a good collection,
including specimens of the latest style. Of this, Sir George Birdwood
remarks that it was almost confined to the production of the water vessels
copied from the clay models in use in the northern parts of the Punjab. He
also notices that the ruddy gold is peculiar to Kashmir, not being found any-
where else in India until Burma is reached. The set exhibited, however,
mainly consists of articles designed for European use, and shows specimens of
the modern style. The price of good work is stated to be 374 per cent. added to
the price of the silver. Of the silver plate, the cost of the work is 25 per cent.
additional. This art is said to have been imported by the Mongols, but the
natural superiority of the people of the Kashmir Valley in elaborating designs,
whether in metal-work or enamelling or weaving, has ie oe the Kashmir
goldsmith’s art to its perfection.
In the brass, copper, and mixed metal, the embossed and pierced brass-work
is described as new, and the Kashmiri workman dislikes doing it from the
hardness of the brass as compared with copper. The engraved and lacquered
brass-work is entirely different in style and colouring from any Indian work.
The copper work shown is made in immense quantities for sale to visitors.
The people themselves never use it untinned, as has been already noticed of the
Mussulman population in the Punjab. The ordinary household metal-work is
not equal to the best Persian, but surpasses that of Afghanistan or ‘Turkestan.
Within the last fifteen years gilding and enamelling copper has been
introduced. An example of the copper enamelled before gilding is shown in
No. 227. The large vase (No. 201) is, writes Sir Oliver St. John, the Resident
in Kashmir, “one of the largest and best pieces of work and design that I have
seen in Kashmir.” Originally, dark and light blue only were used, and the
designs were comparatively simple; but latterly pink, green, yellow, and white
have been added, and the patterns elaborated and multiplied on each piece. A |
number of articles in silver-enamel are also shown. A chair carved in walnut- {
wood exempl'fies the orders occasionally given to native workmen for chairs |
made after European models imcarved walnut, as excellent walnut-wood abounds
in Kashmir. .
Teatiles:—Of the cotton fabrics the hundred beautiful specimens of the Sambar
chintzes have been referred to as decorating the vestibule. These were specially
executed according to the designs and directions of Mr. Purdon Clarke.
chintzes are made at Sambar, a small town at the foot of the hills some 30 miles
south of Jummoo. The demand for them has recently been so great that the
Kashmir Government has practically made a monopoly of them, and the price |
has beem raised from 9 or 10 to 14 rupzes,
If the Kashmir chinizes, with exquisite patterns and colours, have advanced
m demand and price, the opposite may be said of the once precious Kashmir
shawis, This manufacture, it is stated, which formerly brought half a million

known. The importation of English yarn, and the competition of the
machine-made yarn of the Nagpur Cotton Mills, are reported to have resulted ina _
great decline in the art of hand-spinning. The weaving industry has not spe
so greatly from this competition, partly because of the intrinsic excellence 0
the goods manufactured, and partly because of the prejudice in favour of Reeiyty
them which exists amongst the better class of Marathas. The greater part o
the woven goods turned out consists of turbans and dhotis, which are vee
guished by bearing a border of (generally) dark red silk, on the breadth of whic
the value of the fabric in great measure depends. These borders are often woven
in intricate patterns of different shades of colour; but the manufacture has
fallen off under the competition of English-made goods; and it is now not
uncommon to attach a locally made silk border to cotton cloths imported from
Bombay. The Deputy-Commissioner of Bhandara writes that the pidgin et
industry has declined very considerably during the past ten years. Not only a
the number of articles now turned out much less than formerly, but the value o
the goods is very much lower. Pauni used to be especially famous atten
finely-woven, broad-bordered and richly-ornamented turbans and dhotis w. cee
it produced. Bhandara, too, used to produce a plentiful supply of turbans an
waist-cloths of considerable value. Quantity and quality have now fallen off at
both places. The opening of railway communication with Bombay has there-
fore had the same ill effect on local weaving as on brass-working, and has
greatly harmed the two principal indigenous handicrafts of the Provinces. — fi
is fair, however, to add that it is only the production of fine cotton cloth whic
appears to have suffered, and that the weaving of the coarse cotton stuffs worn
by the agricultural classes seems to have greatly increased in some places.
Silk.—Tassar siik-weaving is carried on at a number of places in Sambalpur f
district, of which Barypali is the chief. Cloth of good quality is also made in the
town of Bilaspur, at which a colony of Tassar weavers was settled some years go by
Mr. Chisholm, when Deputy-Commissione.. of this district. The material is very
largely used in Chhattisgarh for dhotie and coats, taking the place which is Bien
occupied by Umrer and Pauni fabrics in Nagpur. : ea
At Burhanpur the most important silk-weaving of the provinces is sti ;
carried on. It is specially noted for its saris, which are commonly woven o
silk and cotton mixed. They are made up in a large variety of patterns and
colours, the best of which are represented by specimens in the present collection.
The gold and silver embroidery manufactured at Burhanpur is said to show
no signs of declining, notwithstanding that the city itself is by no means in |
its formerly prosperous condition, but the gold-wrought cotton tissues and
brocaded silks are still, as will be seen from the examples shown, keeping
up the ancient reputation that they earned when it was the seat of the
Mahommedan Government,

The Screen—The Assam ornamental screen is composed almost entirely of
bamboo and cane, but a kind of mat locally known as sital patti and some native
silk cloths have been also used in its manufacture. There are really two screens,
one for each side of the Court. These differ from each other only in pattern,
the main idea being exactly the same ineach. This consists of a sentry box at
one end occupying two feet of the length. The remaining sweep of 18 feet is
divided into two by a bamboo pillar resting in a socket of lacquered wood, which
also forms a seat. The whole length of the screen (20 feet) is covered by a board
20 feet long, 24 feet wide, and 104 feet from the ground. The under-surface of
this board is covered with the best sital-pattt matting. The workmanship is so
fine that twenty-three strips of the patti go to one inch. Below the board, and
at right angles to it along the central line, is a series of six panels, separated
from each other by bamboo bars and enclosed in bamboo frames. Each half of
the space of eighteen feet contains two small and one large panel. The panels
4 all differ in design, and consist of intricate figures worked out by native artists
and formed in very fine cane. Along the two edges of the long boards runs
a fringe of hanging cane-work, six inches deep, worked out like the panels, but
in different designs. The board is partially supported by brackets also of cane-
work, As will be seen from the screen, decorative art in Assam, as applied to
construction, cannot be said to exist.
Jewellery.—Several interesting collections of jewellery will claim admiration
of those who examine them. First is the Barpeta jewellery, a peculiarly fine
species of gold filigree which is made at Barpeta in the Kamrup district.
i The articles are chiefly bracelets and necklaces—the latter being especially
beartiful. The gold is sometimes imported direct from Calcutta, but is often
obtained from Mahommedan coins brought (to save weight) instead of rupees, by
the elephant traders of Rangpur and Purnea. Secondly, the best-known articles
of the Khasi Hills jewellery, are the coral and gold necklaces, largely worn by
beads (about the size of small marbles) of coral and gold, held together by a
# thread passing through a hole in the centre ofeach. The coral is real and comes
up from Calcutta. The gold beads are shells of gold filled up with lac. The
value of a necklace varies from Rs. 50 to 200, and a good specimen would,
The
scallop-shell ear-ring and gold collaret are peculiar to these hills.
Thirdly, the Manipur jewellery is made in the Hill State of that name, gold
and silver articles being largely manufactured for the native trade at Manipur.
The gold used is always pure, but a large number of the articles consist half of

the peasant class during the cold weather. The eri cloth is commonly worn by
the peasantry, and the muga cloth by the upper classes, and it is a noticeable
fact that women of respectability rarely engage in the manufacture of eri cloth.
Basket Work.—The Assam Valley basket-work is very varied, and a know-
ledge of the art is universal. The Sylhet sital-patti mats are the finest specimens
of this manufacture. The work is exceedingly tedious and expensive. The
material is a kind of reed, called in Bengali murta. The coarser kinds of mats
are universally used for sitting and sleeping on, especially during tho hot
weather. The word sital means cool.
BURMA OOURT.
British Burma, before the recent annexation, contained a population of
8,736,771, occupying 87,220 square miles, and comprising the sea coast pro-
vinces of Arakan, Tenasserim,-and Tavvy, and Pegu, the lower valley of the
Trawadi. The distinction of British Burma exists no longer, but the Burma
Court cannot show exhibits from the former kingdom.
The screen of the Burma Court is made of carved teak with kalaga (or cloth
hanging) panels. The upper part resembles the carving placed round the eaves
and gables of Burmese monasteries, palaces, and shrines. The small flame-like
pinnacles perhaps point back to a former fire-worship era. The frame-work
just below is an example of the ordinary wood-carving of the country, and the
kalagas (or appliqué work) which are placed as panels, are part of the hangings
used as screens, roofings, or backgrounds at open-air festivals or in-door feasts.
The pillars are ornamented in red and gold in a manner common in shrines and
monasteries. The workmanship is purposely that met with on objects com-
monly made in Burma.
The screens of the Burmese Court strike the spectator, not necessarily by
the excellence of the carving, for that is elsewhere rivalled, but by the distinc-
tive character of the complicated design, with the feeling that he has passed
from India proper into a country where the religion, the manners and customs,
and consequently the arts of the people, differ from any already examined, and
this feeling will be confirmed as the exhibits which fill the Court of the pro-
sperous province of British Burma are examined. The words British Burma
are for the present used advisedly, for although the distinction between
it and Upper Burma exists no longer, and although the prevalent character of
Burmese art-work is the same from Mandalay to Bhamo as from Rangoon to
Mandalay, yet still all the exhibits belong to the Lower Burma or to the sea-
side provinces mentioned above.
The only architectural carving exemplified is in wood, and the ordinary
carver is a proficient at either foliage or figure work. In addition to this the:
Rangoon models of men, women, and carts, are examples of the work of the
best carvers, but the most characteristic work, both of foliage and figures, is to
be found at Buddhist monasteries, where the sacred seven-roofed spire, supported
on vermilion and gold-plated pillars, rises above a placid figure of Gautama:
each line of eaves and gable is adorned with a many-pinnacled piece of carving
rising up at the corners over the head of a guardian angel.

64 The Empire of India.
A curious and intricate effect is obtained by Burmese workmen for da handles
and table ornaments. The outside of the specimen is carved with foliage and
flowers through the interstices of which the inside is hollowed out nearly to the
centre, where a figure is carved in situ. The figure looks as if it had been
carved separately and inserted into a flowery bower; but closer examination
shows that this is not the case, and the men may at any time be seen carving
the figure through the opening of the tracery. .
A fine collection of gold and silver ware from Rangoon, and also from the
Shan States, exemplifies the well-known and highly-esteemed silver-work of
Burma. Whether it is hammered, embossed, chased, carved, or cut into upon
tracery, it is all made in exactly the same way. It can be applied to any shape,
and European patterns are often covered with the Burmese work ; but the native
demand is entirely for articles of simple shape, such as large round bowls
without cover or legs, betel-boxes, small oval lime-boxes, and such like.
The examples of jewellery are chiefly of filigree, with which are associated
small pieces of solid gold, either beaten out into the petals of a leaf, or cut, like a
diamond to form the flashing centre of a rosette or a sparkling pendant. , In this
case the burnished gold retains its proper colour, but in all others it is dyed red
with tamarind juice, a barbaric custom to which the Burmese tenaciously cling.
The reason given is that no other metal but gold will assume this particular
ruddy colour when treated with tamarind juice; it may in fact be regarded as
the Hall mark of Burmese jewellery. The goldsmiths show great skill and,
what is rarer amongst the Burmese, great patience and industry in making their
filigree work. For they have first to draw the wire from solid gold, and they
then laboriously construct the delicate pieces of which the work is finally formed.
The dalizan is perhaps tho prettiest of all, and in silver it is sought after by
Europeans. It is composed of a collar about half-an-inch high, from which
hang rows of peacocks, rosettes, crescents, &c., linked together and gradually
narrowing towards the lower edge. Ornaments for the hair ara of two kinds:
those made of sprays of leaves and those made by attaching conventional orna-
ments to a curved bar by spiral springs. In both kinds a peacock or pheasant
is introduced in the centre. Coloured pieces of glass and sometimes precious
stones are set in the leaves, and the whole piece vibrates with every movement
of the head. Chains and round necklaces are formed by plaiting flat pieces of
gold in various ways, and soldering on to the faces small knobs and grains.
This kind of work is perhaps the best in design and finish of any made by
Burmese goldsmiths. Specimens of silver niello aro also shown. Many of the
silversmiths are proficient in this art. The articles made are cups, lime-boxes,
plates, knife-handles, and are all quite smooth with a polish. The black enamel
used is made of two parts of lead, one part silver, and one part copper, and .
sulphur is added while the materials are melting,
The only important manufactures in brass are the castings of images of
Gautama, bells and gongs, which are in perpetual request for religious purposes,

the article is made of wood. With regard to shape alone, a distinction might
be drawn between things used in ordinary life and those which are dedicated
to the service of the monastery. All the lacquerware made on a basket-work
form comes from Upper Burma, where it is a very important trade. In
British Burma the trade is confined to the production cf wooden articles lac-
quered over, such as the large round platter with a raised edge, in which the
family dinner is served round, and square boxes and bow]s. Anvther set of
artists produce richly gilt boxes used in the monasteries for holding palm-
leaf manuscripts, the bowls with a pagoda-shaped cover used for carrying food
to monasteries and pagodas and shrines on which to place images of Gaudama.
The coffers referred to appear as if covered with pictures drawn in black on
a gold ground, and the effect is so good that a small demand for tables, panels,
and bowls of the same work has sprung up.
Textilees.—Throughout Burma weaving is carried on, though not so much in
q the large towns as in the country. The cloths woven are chiefly cotton for home
use, and putsos, cloths worn by men, which are from fifteen to eight yards long,
and varying in width from three-quarters of a yard to 3} feet; or éameins, worn
by women, a sheet of two portions sewn together, about 44 feet long and about
5} feet broad. Besides these, thindaings or coverlets and saungs or thick sheets
are woven. The following description of the Burmese dress of both sexes is
taken from the valuable work of the late Mr. Forbes: ‘“ The patterns aro either
plain variegated stripes, checks, and plaids, or in the most fashionable and expen-
sive a series of zig-zag lines of varying breadth and colours, with sometimes a
leaf-like pattern between. These last, from the intricacy of the pattern and the
number of the shuttles employed for the different coloured threads, require great
skill and a large amount of labour. In some of the best cloths one hundred
shuttles are used, and cloths are distinguished on this account as fifty-shuttle,
eighty-shuttle, hundred-shuttle putsoes. The prices of cloths of the best manu-
facture, as above described, run up to 200 rupees (£20), oreven more. The piece
is fashioned for wear by cutting the length of the web in half, and then stitching
the lengths together, so as to form a double width. One end is closed so as to
make a kind of wallet. The putso now nine yards long and one and a half wide,
is girt round the waist in an ingenious manner without any belt, by a twist and
a hitch of the cloth. It thus forms a kilt with a long spare end in front; this
is sometimes tucked in at the waist, and allowed to hang low in front in heavy
folds, but the most graceful way of wearing it is to throw it loosely over
the shoulder. A white cotion jacket (of English longcloth) reaching the waist,
end a handkerchief (of Manchester manufacture) wound round the head, com-
plete the costun:e.
“The tamein, or female dress, is difficult to describe, It consists of three pieces
joined; the upper, of English red or black cotton stuff; the body of the cress, |
three-quarters of a yard deep and a yard-and-a-half wide, and a lower border
about half-a-yard deep. These parts sewn together, form an oblong cloth a
yard-and-a-half wide, and about two yards long. This is simply wrapped
round the body, and securely fastened by a hitch in the edge of the cloth in
some mysterious manner, over the bosom below the armpits, and again at the
waist ; the fold remaining loose downwards, displays in walking, rather morq

It would, perhaps simplify: the explanation if the reader took a bath-towel six
feet. long and, four-and-a-half feet in width,.and endeavoured to put it on asa
garment, covering the body from the armpits to the feet.”
The ;same, dresses are also manufactured in silks, which are all of very |
brilliant, not to say gaudy patterns and colours; but in British Burma the silk
articles of clothing: are chiefly of European manufacture, being cheaper, though |
far less durable than the home manufacture. The gold and silver embroideries
shown, are only used in Lower Burma to supply costumes for the theatre.
Gold and silver lace are freely used, a8 are precious stones, and the result is an
exceedingly costly garment. A very effective decorative work in silk is shown
in the kalaga, or hanging, from Rangoon. The kalagas most ordinarily in use
are made in cloth, and are red hangings or purdahe.. They are about ten or
twelve feet long, and four or five feet. deep, on which are pourtrayed scenes from
one, of the mythological plays. The work is technically known as applique fabotoa. h

vari-coloured cloths and sewing them on to the background. The result in exhibits
Burma is a gorgeously-coloured screen, which is used to decorate the houso on
festive occasions or to partition off a part of it for a guest. The kalaga also
forms a gay roof-covering for the bullock-cart when the family travels to one of
the large pagoda feasts.
MADRAS COURT.
Next to Burma comes the Madras Court, representing the territories of that
Presidency, which occupies the entire south of the Peninsula, together with a
long strip running northwards on the Coromandel Coast. It has an area of
189,900 square miles, with a population of 30,688,504. The important princi-
palities of Travancore and Cochin; with three smaller states, are in connéction
with Madras, and our ancient and faithful allies of Travancore and Cochin are
well represented.. The city of Madras, the third greatest in India, is entirely of
English origin, and dates from the building of the factory in. 1639.
The carved screens for the Madras Court are in a style of the Dravidian
architecture of Southern India of the Vijaynagar period, #.e. about the 15th or
16th century. Avoiding as fr as possible the grotesque eccentricities ‘of the
style, it is attempted to show ‘hat South Indian: carvers: are. eapable of much
good work. The columns are fluted and ribbed and crossed at intervals with
bands of elaborate ornament. The upper portion is cut in representation of a
chatty, or earthen vessel, from which the capital springs in the shape of a
lotus. Above this two richly-carved brackets assist in supporting the long
beam on which the upper portion or entablature of the screen rests. The Hindu
architects use an elaborate system of brackets in place of the arch construction
of Saracenic and Europeza builders. The long beam is divided into panels filled
with various designs of foliage, birds, gryphons, and other monsters of Hindu
mythology. What might be called ‘the frieze of the entablature is divided into
panels by carved upright struts. The panels themyelves are each divided into
three niches, the design being adapted from the metal shrinés in which: the

with pierced foliage, generally in representation of the tree of life, and in the
spandrel between the niches, a cobra with distended hood is coiled up. ‘The
variety of the patterns on the screen and the treatment of animal forms will
give a good idea of the facility for ornamental design possessed by most oriental
bandicraftsmen. The screen is constructed of Burma teak by a Madras car-
penter, Ramalingam Asari. The general design was prepared by the Superin-
4 tendent of the Madras School of Arts and executed under his direction by about
twenty Madras carvers, the smaller details being designed by Minakshi Asari, a
carver from Ramnad, in the Madura District. The difficulty of getting a
sufficient number of carvers in Madras city, and the short time allowed for the
work prevented the design being carried out in its entirety.
The most interesting of the exhibits sent from the Madras Presidency are
described by Colonel Hawkes, the President of the Madras Committee, as “old
native jewellery, brass and copper utensils, wood carvings, cotton and silk
fabrics, hand-priuted fabrics and embroideries.’ We miss examples, however,
of the superbly rich gold and silver plate from the Presidency, only three
exhibits being classed under this head, two of which are a candlestick and a
lota in solid silver, made in the Madras School of Art. ‘Besides these, a spoon of
solid silver, and two chased silver muffineers (!\ are specified, but the collections
of old jewellery—which, as we are told, it is being daily melted up and forged
into new and inferior patterns; so that on no future occasion is the collection now
sent likely to be equalled—must be viewed with a melancholy curiosity. It
consists of several portions, which may be considerod as separate collections, The
mythological or stoamy jewellery, and that more especially wrought for the use
of Mussulman families, and the well known exquisite gold jewellery of Trichi-
nopoly, are all represented. The old native jewellery from Madura contains
several examples of the curious gold ear ornaments, one of the five jewels of
which is worn in a greatly distended hole in the lower lobe of the ear, The
general collection of old native jewellery from Southern India shows the infinite
variety of forms characterising the several races of Southern India. The reader
is necessarily referred to the special catalogue for the enumeration of almost
200 articles, including gold ornaments to be worn in the ear, the nose, on the
back of the hair, with imitations of jasmine buds and roses or chumpaka flowers,
the gold marriage emblem (a representation of the foot of Krishna), and gold
beads, the gold rings as worn by Mussulman females on the thumb and on the
index finger, the gold marriage necklet of forty-eight beads, charms, and fifty-
wo rubies and fifty-seven beads, the silver armlets, wristlets, necklets of silver
medallions strung on thread as worn by Mahomedan children, silver finger-rings,
silver toe-rings, which form this wonderful display of archaic jewellery.
To the ethnologist, the special collection of jewellery worn by the aboriginal
odas, Badagas and Kotahs of the Nilgiri Hills, which includes gold, silver,
brass, copper, and iron, will be more’ attractive than the silver ornaments
lisplayed in such abundance. H.H. the Maharaja of Cochin contributes a special
ollection also of the jewellery peculiar to his country. ‘Amongst these may be
mentioned the gold filigrain necklace, with three clasps of six rows of chain
0 the upper portion, and seven on the lower, worn ‘by all castes, and ‘the gold

fifty-one medallions of green stone|mounted on gold, with 153 rubies strung on

intended for European wear. This contains beautifully wrought examples of
the well known filigrain silver, and the brooches of various patterns, such as
the vine, the Indian lute, the flower and leaf, the butterfly and pelanquin, and
the bracelets of flowers or butterflies. hs

from the Ramayanam, and from the Mahabharata, though not attractive to
European eyes, are remarkable as examples of hand-printing. The native
hand-printed wares are set off by “five so-called palampurs from Manchester,
imported for sale in Madras and Bengal. The great deterioration of the
pattern will be manifest.”
Of the silks the Committee remark that the silk cloths would seem to be
peculiarly suitable for the present style of ladies’ dresses, and as the material
used is pure and unadulterated, the colours well blended, and the borders
handsome, it is to be hoped the Exhibition will give a very desirable impetus to
the Indian silk manufacture. Accordingly, pieces of silk, checkered, striped,
and plain, all good examples of quality and colouring, are collected for the
delectation, and, it is to be hoped, the admiration of the softer sex. Except
the Berhampur silks, however, these exhibits, like the cottons, have no refer-
ence as to their special place of manufacture.
H.E. Mrs. Grant-Duff gives a striking proof of the interest taken by her
in the manufactures of the Presidency in the beautiful exhibition of embroi-
deries and laces which she contributes. Other embroideries and laces ev>
exhibited by the Hobart School of Mohammedan girls,
HYDERABAD COURT.
The last Court is divided between Hyderabad, or the dominions of the
Nizam, and Mysore and Coorg, two adjacent states, situated in the heart of the
Dekhan. The Nizam is the chief Mohammedan native ruler, and a descendant
of the Mighal Nizam-ul-Mulkh (Regulator of the Empire). This prince pos-
sesses a territory comprising 81,807 square miles, and a population of nearly
ten millions.
The screen consists of a series of arches, the posts being 10 ft. apart from
centre to centre. Except in the centre piece or gateway, the height of the
screen is 10} ft., and that of the arches, 8 ft. from the ground; these, to
facilitate description, may be numbered 1 to 7. Nos. 1 and 7 are intended to
show the brass-work of the province,
The second and sixth arches are of Bidri ware, é.e. blackened pewter inlaid
with gold, silver, or copper. The third and fifth arches—those on either side
of the central piece—are entirely of lacquer work.
The central portion of the screen, or, as it may well be termed, the central
gateway, is a Tazzia, such as is commonly constructed during the Mohorran
festival, to represent the Mausoleum of Hassain and Hussain.
In the combined Court preference may naturally be given to the portion
devoted to the manufactures from the dominions of the Nizam, and the great
Mohammedan city of Hyderabad with its population of 200,000 souls. Accord- -
ing to the Gazetteer of India, the principal manufactures are the ornamental
metal ware of Bidar, the gold-embroidered cloths of Aurangabad, Gulbarga, and
other towns, and the excellent paper of different kinds made by the inhabitants
of the hamlet of Kagarpur, near the famous fortress of Doulatabad.
The jewellery and silver ware are all of Aurangabad manufacture, with
silver filigree boxes which resemble the Dehli silver work. The only one of tho

art manufactures in metal is the bidré ware, “hia is here shown from ‘its
original _ birthplace of Bidar. Close on a hundred articles are exhibited
exemplifying the. important, industry which commands an extensive demand.
No, dowry is: considered complete among the better. class of Mohany-
medans unless a complete set of bidri ware, from bed-legs to a spittoon,, is
included. The high prices often render it necessary for the father of a family
to; begin his collection, years before his daughter is marriageable. . The mode of
manufacture has been elsewhere described, The mixture used at Bidar is
variously stated by authorities atone part of copper to sixteen of zinc, or one
part of copper to fourteen of zinc. The patterns of Bidar are.generally of a
natural floral description. Both gold and silver are inlaid, and copper also is
sometimes used in this work at Bidar,
“Admirers of armour will find ample scope to indulge their taste i inthe col- |
lection of ancient armour purchased in the city of Hyderabad, which is noted
for old arms, and the modern blades made from the steel in the Hyderabad
territory rival the finest. Damascus.
The lacquer ware shown in the ornamental screen is: also, illustrated. by a
large assortment of boxes, fans, sandals, &c.
The beautiful lacquer work of Baingaupali, a agir in the Raichur district, is |
used in ornamenting every article of domestic use. Like the inlaid metal work |
of Bidar, articles forming part of the wedding dowry are lacquered. The work |
is of two kinds or classes, one embossed and’ the other plain, and called
respectively munabathi and Jajawardi, The embossing is, produced by a tedious
process.. Shells or slag from the forge are finely ground with some glutinous
- substance, which is kept a secret, and layer upon layer of this ingredient put on |
with a brush till the requisite height is attained. The whole is then covered |
with gold-leaf, the designs are picked out in paint, and the article varnished.
Textiles.—The cotton fabrics include Kaki coloured. muslins, plain and striped,
from Raichur. These are a luxury in the hot weather, and are used by both sexes |
among the natives, the men using the cloth for their angrakas or loose jackets, |
andthe women for wraps. The muslins. of Raichur closely resemble those of
Nandair, and are abons one anni the price; but good judges profess to see a |
great difference.
Thirty-nine pieces are also me of the finest muslins manufactured in, the
Hyderabad state. These are salmon-coloured. They are, like the others, all
woven in hand-looms. Beside these are examples of the Raichur counterpanes, |
and the stamped cloth from Indore, commonly used. as coverlets and curtains.
The Gulbarga Jail exhibits examples of prayer carpets, and a selection of cotton
carpets of the noted Warangal make. The aniline dyes can be remarked as
having superseded the true old Indian dyes in this manufacture,
The gold and silver. cloth and lace of Aurangabad, and. the gorgeous |
embroideries applied to the canopies of costly state umbrellas of dignity, the
elephants’ cloths and state horses’ caparisons generally, are somewhat sparsely
represented. The Gulbarga embroidery is inferior in work to that of Auran-
gabad. The work in the exhibits is, however, well done, but the metal used is
copper gilt. The pure silk saris of Raichur, and the mashru or mixed satin
for Mohammedan use, and the flowered silks of Aurangabad, are the chief silk

fabrics shown, and of these it is needless to say more than that they are the
products of long-established seats of the production of the finest silk wares, and
are well worthy of their reputation. Seven pieces of embroideries in gold and
beetle wings complete the collection.
Raichur is famous for its leather industry, principally applied to the
manufacture of the slippers and shoes. The leather employed is sometimes
, dyed, but not unfrequently, as in examples shown, gilt or silvered. The
slippers embroidered with gilt and copper are very commonly used, especially
by dancing girls.
MYSORE AND COORG COURT.
Mysore and Coorg are conterminous Hill States, the latter under the direct
over by a descendant‘of the Hindu chieftain from whom Hyder Ali usurped it.
Mysore has an area of over 25,000 square miles, and a population of over 4,000,000.
Coorg is a small mountainous district’ of about 1600: square miles, south of
Mysore, inhabited by a fine ‘race of highlanders numbering about 180,000.
The screen for the Mysore and Coorg Court encloses'a space of about 70 ft.
in length by 12 ft. in:width. The front elevation is divided into seven bays of
10 ft.:each, the Mysore Court of five bays being separated from the Coorg Court
of two bays by a partition. The designs for the pillars and arches are copied
from the Daria Daulat Bagh (the Garden Palace, built by Tippoo Sultan at
Seringapatam, and long occupied by the Duke of Wellington, then Colonel
Wellesley), reduced to half the original dimensions. The pillars, panels, &c.,
are made of different kinds of Mysore timber, the carving being executed by
local carpenters. The plain panels above the arches of the front elevation and
at the sides and top of the three partition screens are filled in with Poem
of Mysore scenery, &c., and native mythological paintings.
Taken in the order of the Special Catalogue, first noticeable, is a group of
Hindu deities carved in soap-stone. Sacred sculpture in this material and
dating some hundreds of years back, is found in a perfect state of preservation all
over the State. The figures are from two feet high down to miniature repre-
sentations. This collection indicates the motif of almost all the well known
Mysore work. The Canara carving already described, and the Sorab and other
Mysore work are identical in every respect, executed in high relief, and illus-
trating the Puranas or legendary histories of the Hindu deities. The conven-
tional and deformed figures of Brahma, Siva and Vishnu Krishna, and their
consorts and attendant guardians to the earth are contrasted with the foliated
borders.
The lacquer ware of Chenaputten consists of vwrohdein toys turned and prettily
lacquered. Chessmen and chess boards are also made of the same ware.
The Mysore inlaid ebony furniture, of which sixteen samples are exhibited,
has risen in importance since the'Calcutta Exhibition, and at present the demand
exceeds the supply.
The work of the Mysore goldamiths in either of the precious metals is well
known for the delicacy and ingenuity displayed in chasing, engraving and
ornamenting the patterns. The exquisite gold dishes presented to H.R.H. the

Prince of Wales will be remembered by all who have availed themselves of the
opportunities so freely afforded of inspecting His Royal Highness’s Indian
collections, The maker (Venkatrammana) of these exquisite works, exhibits
silver castings and silver chased work in swamé figures and salvers, Engraved
and repoussé plate is also shown from Bangalore.
The brass and copper utensils, and the brass and copper idols of the Tumkur
districts are widely noted, and the other known seats of this industry, such as
Nagamangala and Magadi are represented by articles intended for religious or for
ordinary use. The best workmen of the staple work in metals are Jains. The
ordinary work is described as rough, without finish or accuracy, the circles and
the lines inaccurate, and the marks of the file and the burnisher everywhere
visible,

Textiles. Among these the Ganjam chintzes have been specially reproduced |
from old printing blocks of the time of Hyder Ali, ‘reprodncing the patterns
which were worn by the peons of Hyder Ali and Tippoo Sahib. The woollen
Kambli, marked 732, is sent as a specimen of the choice Davangiri manufacture, §
of which the excellence is proved by a piece measuring two yards by six yards,
being rolled up and placed in the hollow of small bamboo, one foot and a half
long, and two and a half inches in diameter,
Throughout Mysore silk manufacture has always flourished. The rich
texture and costly patterns of the silks of Bangalore are well known, and
‘Tumkur also produces fine material. The disease amongst the silkworms has
however caused a considerable decline in the manufacture. One example is
shown of the Bangalore woollen carpeting woven with the same pattern on
both sides, and noted for durability. Bangalore woollen pile rugs are also |
exhibited, with the note that the trade in these for export has fallen off since
the weavers adopted aniline dyes.
THE IMPERIAL COURT.
Ir has already been explained in the prefatory remarks, p. 11, that the,
useful products of India which are collected in the Imperial or Economic
Court, which we will now examine, are arranged on a different plan from
that of the Art Courts, The raw products and rough manufactures which
illustrate the resources of India have been grouped together in successive
divisions, which are described with scientific exactitude in the special catalogue
prepared by Dr. Watt, by whom this great collection has been arranged; the
following pages are mainly summarised from his catalogue. For those who wish
to enquire more particularly into any special group of products, it is only
needful to explain that each exhibit is numbered, and a reference to the Index
Collection arranged on the walls of the Court, so as to appear exactly opposite
to the corresponding commercial collections, will facilitate the study of the larger
samples displayed on the tables and trophies or in the glass cases. The whole of

this Court may be described as a survey of the economic resources, the productive
powers, and the commerce of India. The magnitude of the foreign trade of
India enables it to rank as the fifth great commercial power in the world.
The total value of the external sea-borne trade of India may be said roughly
to be 155 millions of pounds sterling, of which 70 millions represent exports
and 85 millions imports. Of this the commerce between India and the United
Kingdom claims 86 millions sterling, of which 36 millions represent exports
and 50 millions imports. To form a complete estimate of the foreign commerce
of India, we must add to this the land trade across the frontiers, which
amounts to about 12 millions sterling. The staples of this commerce are
illustrated in this Court. The visitors will do well to try and realise the fact
that the collection of the fruits of the earth, the implements and the results
of human labour, and the illustrations of the rural life which present them-
selves one after the other, represents a population of 252 millions, and an area
of cultivated land of over 189 millions of acres.
The Forest Trophy.—The massive archway which forms the entrance to the
Court is constructed entirely of Indian timbers, and designed by Mr. F, B.
Manson, Deputy Conservator of Forests, Chutia Nagpur, Bengal. The middle
portion is 22 ft, broad, and rises to a height of 15 ft.; the side parts are
12} ft. high. The total breadth of the trophy is 46 ft., and it is 5 ft. in thick-
ness. It contains 3000 specimens of useful timbers.
The timber specimens used in its construction belong mostly to the Bengal
Economic Museum, and have been lent by the Government of Bengal. The
trophy includes also the greater part of Mr, J. S. Gamble’s collection described
in his “Manual of Indian Timbers.” The specimens so described are marked
with a letter followed by a number; the letter denotes the region from which
fj each specimen was obtained. In addition to these collections a large number
a of new blocks of wood, furnished by the Inspector General of Forests, have
also been built into the trophy. The very extensive series of timbers thus
q@ brought together has been arranged on the trophy in geometrical patterns,
and on either side of the arches are placed fretwork panels of teak wood in
arabesque design. A border of alternating dark and light woods surrounds
the entire framework. The pilasters are supported by large slabs of timber,
bevelled to show the grain of the wood. For the construction of the orna-
mental arches some of the principal Indian timbers procurable in Calcutta,
viz., teak, s4l, sissu, and pine have been used. The geometrical tracery of the
panels forming the plinth on either side of the middle arch is of teak and
sissu; whilst that of the pilasters on each side of the smaller arches is of teak.
Immediately close to the arch are articles of furniture carved from the
‘wood of the Padouk or Andaman redwood tree. The table constructed of one
complete section shows the enormous size which this dark red, close-grained
and hard wood attains,
The Bamboo Trophy.—Occupying the centre of the Court, and conspicuous
by its height, the great object of attraction will undoubtedly be the Bamboo
Trophy, which consists of an arch over the central transverse path leading from
the Art Ware Courts, and contains one of the most perfect collections of bamboos
ever exhibited. This familiar name of the gigantic grasses has, like so many

amongst the exhibits.
Nuts.—Together with the fruits are samples of nuts, a term which in India
includes ground nuts and the seeds of the edible pine. The true almonds, which
are a sacred offering common to the Hindoo and the Jain, as well.as a regular
ingredient in cookery, especially in a savoury pillao, are imported by the
traders of Afghanistan and Persia. The Afghan traders ‘also supply the hazel
nut, the wainut, and the pistachio nut, from Afghanistan and Kashmir.
The Singara nut (647), which is grown on an aquatic weed, forms in‘ some
parts of the country an important article of food. It is stated that in Kashmi
30,000 persons are dependent upon this wild plant for food during certai
months,
Cocoa Nut.—Near the bamboo trophy is a most interesting collection of
objects made from the common cocoanut palm (properly called coco and. vulgarly
coker), exhibited by Mr. Pereira, of Bombay. Highty-three articles are enumer
ated. The origin of the name of this well-known and useful palm, which to th¢
early travellers and medieval writers was known as the Indian nut, is suggeste‘
to be the old Spanish coca, a shell, although the Portuguese and. Spaniards sa)

the inhabitants of India. It is the principal food in Bengal, Burma, Orissa and
the eastern portion of Central India, the southern parts of Madras, and the ;
western districts of Bombay. In the Punjab, the North West Provinces, H

opinion that, taking India as a whole, it may be affirmed that the staple food
grain is neither rice, nor wheat, but millet. Excluding tho special rice tracts,
varieties of millet axe grown more extensively from Madras in the south, at
least as far as Rajputana in the north.
Wheat.—The development of the export trade in wheat within the last
fifteen years is one of the most remarkable facts recorded in the Reports of the
material progress of India. Of the two divisions the soft wheats are in most
demand for the United Kingdom, while the hard forms which are preferred by
the natives of India are in great request in the Ttalian market for the manu-
facture of macaroni. The total area under wheat cultivation in the year 1884—
85 has been calculated at 20,306,464 acres, the Punjab taking the lead with its
eight millions of acres, while Bengal had only one million.
Grain Trophy.—All these grains are combined in the structure of the
Grain Trophy, the idea of which is taken from the famous tomb of Itmdd-ud-
Dowlah at Agra, the beautiful marble geometric mosaics having been imitated
by glass panels of coloured grains. On the outside elevations there are large |

one to barley and oats, and one to millets and Job’s tears, a curious grain which r
is cultivated in Assam and among the Eastern frontier hill-tribes. Sixteen [
panels, two of which are devoted to rice, two to wheat, two to Indian corn,
smaller panels are filled with the pulses, and the remainder with other edible
grains and oil seeds. The interior is filled with grains in ear, and Indian corn
cobs. In the four corners of the room are shown commercial samples of the
grains, and in the centre a group of three womon modelled in clay “ grinding at
the mill.” Near it are cases containing special displays of wheat exhibited
by the Bombay Commercial Committee, and collections of rice from Bengal
and Burma.
Sugars.—The raw and refined sugars exhibited by Messrs. Turner, Morris, &
Co., of Calcutta, and Messrs. Carew & Co., are examples of a cultivation anda trade |
which are more important at present for Indian internal commerce than for the
prospects of increased exportation. The 1,922,000 acres of sugar-cane cultiva- ff
tion may be said to yield two million tons of coarse sugar. Besides sugar-cane,
sugar is obtained from the date palm, or toddy palm, of Bengal, and the palmyra,
or toddy palm, of South India, Bombay, and Burma; but the exports, in which |
the sugar-cane produce cannot be discriminated from other produce, only |
amounted to one million cwts., as against the two million tons just mentioned.
Improvements in the present defective method of expressing the juice, and
gradual removal of the prejudice against refined sugars amongst the natives of
India, who chiefly consume gtr or raw sugar, will doubtless give a large stimulus
to the internal trade. A model prepared at Poona in order to show the method of
crushing the sugar-cane in the Bombay Presidency, is exhibited in the Agri-
cultural annexe. The primitive pestle mill is still the machine most generally
used over the greater part of India for the extraction of cane juice. The’
method of working it is shown in the model village.
Narcotics and Stimulants—Of the Indian narcotics and stimulants, the first
place is naturally taken by the product of the poppy, commonly called Opium, §
from its Greek term dmv (opion), from which as a Government monopoly, the
Government of India draws an average revenue of nine millions arising from

Up to the year 1823, China was believed to be the exclusive home of the tea-
plant, and to possess an indisputable monopoly of the tea trade. In that year
the tea-plant was discovered to be indigenous in Assam, and the first attempt to
introduce tea cultivation into India commenced about 1830. The Government off:
India employed Mr. Fortune to collect varieties of the Chinese plants and to ght or ne
import seeds, and labourers skilled in the cultivation, Assam being selected ae U™ts- TI
the first locality for the new enterprise. The first twelve chests of tea frompevenue an

Provinces and the Punjab are equal with about 8000 each, and Madras has 5551
acres. The quantity of Indian tea exported has increased from 254 million
pounds in 1875 to 60 millions in 1884, representing a value of over 4 millions
of pounds sterling.
The coffee plantations of Southern India have not been prosperous of late
years. The destructive leaf disease has diminished the yield, while the prices
obtainable have fallen. The value of the total exports in 1884-85 was about
£1,250,000.
The cultivation of cocoa or cacao has only within recent years been intro-
duced like cinchona from South America, but there are now thriving plantations
in the Madras Presidency, and the trade is an increasing one.
Great attention has been paid, both by private growers in Madras and on
experimental farms under the Government of Bengal, to the growth and
cultivation of the tobacco plant in India, and its subsequent manufacture.
qThe exports of leaf and manufactured tobacco during the year 1884-85 were
valued at £150,000.
THE KUCH BEHAR TROPHY.
At the head of the North Grand Avenue there is a striking scenic illustration
of jungle life and tiger hunting, arranged by Mr. Rowland Ward, F.Z.S. In
i ‘The Jungle” are specimens and groups of great game; in this division may be
noted, wounded boar finding refuge; cheetahs and axis; gaur, buffalo, bears
jand young, ovis ammon, ibex, goral, nilgai, markhor, Bara singha, hog deer,
blackbuck, an Albino blackbuck, sambur, leopards, &c., and many birds.
Among the reptiles are alligators, pythons, and other snakes, lizards, &c.
The Hunting Trophy immediately adjacent, is mainly due to the generous
Mossistance of H.H. the Maharaja Kuch Behar. The scene represents a hunting
aclophant preceding the beaters, which has come upon a group of tigers, one of
which he has stricken, while another has sprung upon him with deadly grip.
Others are near, or retreating in the tall grass and bamboo copse. Among other
pnimals of Kuch Behar are leopard, buffalo, various deer, bear, wild cat, boar,
porcupine, monkey, &c.. Vultures, pea fowl, jungle fowl, green pigeon, and
ther birds.
ADMINISTRATIVE COURT.
The Administrative Court, devoted to exhibits prepared by the various
lepartments of the Government of India, occupies the galleries leading from the
ight or north side ot the building above the steps leading to the Central
ourts. 'The Imperial Secretarial Departments are:—I. The Department of
Revenue and Agriculture, which is represented in minor departments, viz.,
burvey of India, Meteorology, Geological Survey, Agriculture, Land Revenue,
| nternal Trade and Emigration. II. The Department of Finance and Com-
Merce includes General Finance, Salt, Customs and Port Dues, Excise, Opium,
he Mint, Stamps, the Post Office, External Trade and Government Printing.
‘ml. Under the Home Department are the sections Education, Law and Justice,
Police Sanitary and Medical, Archwological Survey Forests Statistics, Jails,
VY, The Public Works Department represents Railways, Roads, Irrigation, Public

Buildings and Telegraphs.. V, Tho Legislative Department has only to do with
Acts and Regulations. VI. The Foreign Department regulates Native States
and Imperial Orders and Decorations. . VII. The Military and Marine Depart.
ment; is subdivided into Army Head-Quarteys, Military and Marine.
OF these, Meteorology and Geological Survey are represented in the Economic
Court annexe, where also will be found exhibits illustrative of Salt, Exciso,
Opium, Forests and Irrigation.
The Survey of India Department contributes illustrations of .the various
processes by which the results of the surveying operations are transferred to
exact knowledge collected by the labours of science, and the observations of
showing the- internal trade and the emigration are both worthy of study.
Everyone will be interested to learn of the large and constant emigration of
Indian labourers to the tea-gardens of Assam, the Island of Mauritius, and to
the distant labour fields of the West Indies and Denierara, and even to our
young but vigorous colony of Fiji. Some return after their contract of service
expires, with their savings. Others remain as settlers.
In the divisions of the Department of Finance and Commerce, besides tho
printed reports, there are exhibited specimens of the coinage of India, and tho
processes of the Mints. Patterns of all stamps used which make up a revenue
of over three million pounds, are shown by Messrs. De la Rue. The Post Office
shows from the different Presidencies models illustrating the peculiar means 0
carriage which are needed in distributing the 184 millions of letters, cards, &,
delivered throughout India in one year, models of mail runners and riders, &o,
Specimens of buffalo horns sounded to scare away wild beasts in Assam, or bows
and arrows carried for defence in Rajputana, carts, coaches, boats and rafts ar
ranged according to the particular provinces. Our printers and bookbinders cat
compare the tools and work of their Indian fellow-craftsmen.
The Home Department sends a most curious and complete illustration of th
means and appliances employed in the 111,237 schools with their 2,790,061
pupils inspected in 1882-3. The indigenous schools of the Punjab, ant
all schools not inspected are of course omitted. The model of an indigenon
school in Bombay is well worthy of examination.
The models shown by the Public Works Department, illustrating the India
railway carriages, the public buildings, and the great works constructed fi
irrigation, on which the lives of millions constantly depend, can only be pointe
out as claiming much more than a passing glance.
The Military and Marine Department, in addition to the portrait mode
which stand round the vestibule, contributes not only descriptions but varion

nigration of J oxact state of sericulture in India, is arranged in cases lining the half of the
i‘tius, and to§ curved. passage around the Durbar Hall. Under the joint auspices of the
sven to our
st of service
Government of India and the Royal Commission, Mr. Wardle, who is well known
as having done more than anyone else to promote improvements in the growth
of raw silk as well as the manufacture of silks in India, has been charged with
making the collection. Not only i is the finer product of the mulberry silkworm
exhibited, but also that of what is known as the ¢ussar as well as the muga and
eria worms, noticed in the view of the Assam Court. Important improvements
iu the method of reeling the raw silk from the cocoons have recently been made,
and appear to promise a more hopeful future for the Indian silks.
THE INDIAN PALACE.
Previous Exhibitions have served to illustrate some of the multitudinous Arts
and products of our Indian Empire, but it has been left for this occasion to
bring before us the technical processes of their manufactures, the epplication
and use of objects which otherwise would have remained but beautiful curios,
suitable only for the glass cases of a Museum.
For this purpose the Secretary of the Royal Commission made arrangements
last year for the utilisation of Indian Art work (as far as possible) in the con-
struction and decoration of the Courts, and submitted for the approval of
H.R.H. the President, a plan for the draping of the vestibule with Indian
printed cottons, the separation of the Courts by carved wooden and stono
screens, the construction of a Palace Durbar Hall in carved wood, and in con-
nection with it the peculiar feature of most oriental Palaces, a “ Karkhaneh,” or
workshop, where jewellers, weavers, carvers, and others would carry on their
trades, and produce before the visitors the marvellous and béautiful objects of
their handiwork.
At the request of H.R.H. the Prince of Wales, the Lords of the Committee _
of Council on Education gave permission to Mr. C. P. Clarke, C.1.E., the Keeper
of the India Museum, to visit India, and this gentleman returned in May last,
having completed the necessary arrangements, and brought beck a party of
ood-carvers, who immediately commenced the Durbar Hall.

in India was approved, and the gateway incorporated with the Durbar Hall and
artisans’ shops. The whole now represents a typical Royal * ‘lace and Court-
yard, with shops overlooked by an Audience Hall, and the public portions of an
Indian Palace in the Hindu-Persian style known as Moghal. Protected by
two bastion towers and loopholed walle, the courtyard is entered through tho
Gwalior gateway, a remarkable example of modern Indian Art which would
alone merit a visit to the Exhibition from the richness of its decoration,
and peculiarity of construction, so completely at variance with our system of
masonry, It was designed, and the work of execution superintended, by Major
James Keith, the Curator of Antiquities at the Gwalior Fort.
The shops surrounding three sides of the courtyard number thirteen, and
seven more line a passage on the right which leads to tho Private Exhibitors’
Gallery. These are raised about two feet above the level of the pavement, and |
each front is divided into three openings by columns and foliated arches with
lattice panels over. They are occupied by artisans sclected by, and under tho |
charge of, Dr. Tyler of Agra, who ply their several trades, and are desirous not |
only of inspection of their work, but of the patronage of their visitors.
On the fourth side is a wide porch extending back and on either side; tho
low ceiling being supported by cross beams, and many columns with bracket
capitals. Here are the carpet looms, and office where all arrangements are made |
and orders received for work to be executed by the artisans in the courtyard.
Passing through the porch, or Hall of Columns, the garden vestibule is
reached, a building of somewhat mixed character, partaking more of the form
and construction of a large marquee tent than the glimpses of solid masonry
shi,wing through the tent-like hangings will admit. The mosaic floor and
cusious tank fountain again add to this look of solidity, which is confirmed by
the red sandstone staircase leading up to the Durbar Hall overlooking tho
Palace courtyard.
This room is certainly the most remarkable object in the Exhibition, being
of foreign origin, yet made in the Exhibition by two natives of Bhera in tho
Punjab. Entered on the east side through a triple arched opening, the Hall is
seen at a coup-d’eil, and visitors are bewildered with the mass of intricate
ornament which covers the walls and ceiling. The foliated arches of the heads
of the thirteen recessed windows are again repeated in the casements, and tho
peculiar bracketed cornice carries another line of these graceful arches round
the room.
The pictures relating to India are exhibited in the Upper Gallery of the
Royal Albert Hall.

“THE. DOMINION OF CANADA.
Tn Dominion of Canada occupies the northern half of the North American continent. It covers
an area of 3,500,000' square’ miles, and is ‘territorially about equal in extent to the continent of
Europe. Reaching from the Atlantic to the Pacific Ocean, the western half has a southern
frontier which, if extended across the Atlantic Ocean, would strike the latitude of Paris, while the
southernmost point of the eastern section of the country is in the latitude of Rome. Canada ig
thus the physical equivalent on the continent of North’ America of the great empires and
kingdoms of Germany, France, Italy, Russia in Europe, Sweden and Norway, Belgium, and the
British Islands; it is, above all, an integral portion of the British Empire, containing natural
resources a8 varied and as great as of those countries.
Nineteen short years ago Her Majesty’s possessions in North America entered upon 9
corporate existence, and tie change that has since taken place in the general. development and
the prosperity of Canada cannot but be accepted as a remarkable proof, of. the sagacity of the
imperial and colonial statesmen who directed the movement. The confederation grew out of the
natural desire of the people of the disconnected provinces to unite for their mutual benefit. To
the petition for the privilege of confederating, the British Parliament responded, in 1867, by
passing the “ British North American Act,” providing for the voluntary union of the various
provinces in North America under the name of the “ Dominion of Canada,” and for the cession to
the Dominion of all the vast unsettled area of British America formerly dominated by the
Hudson’s Bay Company, with power to create new provinces and admit them jnto the union
when sufficiently populated. The Act came into operation on the Ist of July, 1867—the
provinces of Nova Scotia and New Brunswick uniting with Upper and Lower Canada,
henceforth Ontario and Quebec. This union of the inland and maritime provinces gave
to Canada an importance she had never before possessed. In 1870, the Province of Manitoba
was created, having been carved out of that portion of the territory lying on both sides of the
Red River of the North, embracing the city of Winnipeg and the old Red River settlements of
the Hudson’s Bay Company. In 1871, the large and prosperous Province of British Columbia
was added, comprising all that region lying between the Rocky Mountains and the Pacific,
including the numerous large islands fringing the coast, and extending from the United
States to and beyond the southern limit of Alaska; and in 1873 Prince Edward Island joined
the confederation.
This political bond has been strengthened by the construction of the Canadian Pacific
Railway, the great national undertaking which has now been brought to a successful termina-
tion, and by means of which the extreme eastern and western portion of the Dominion are
brought into close relationship with each other and with the hitherto scarcely known prairie
regions of the North-West Territory. The completion of the new line must largely stimulate
travel, immigration, settlement, and commerce, aud draw the attention of the people of every
nation to the enormous area of the Dominion, its large population, and the great variety and
magnitude of its natural resources.
The population of the Dominion approximates 5,000,000, which is augmenting at a rapid
rate, and which, notwithstanding the diversity of origin, hag, under the force of circumstances,
been welded into a homogeneous whole. About one-half are of English, Scotch, and Irish
extraction; one-fourth are of direct French descent; Germany is well represented; and every
nation in Europe has contributed its quota to swell the population. Of Indians there is an
estimated pupulation of 100,000. About one-third of these live in the older provinces, and have
been long since gathered into settlements under the care of officers of the Indian Department,
in some cases having industrial schools and other organisations to aid them in their progress
toward a higher civilisation; and it is only necessary to glance at the products of Indian industry
in the Exhibition in order to learn how marked that progress has been.
92 Canada,
The Government ot Canada, as at present constituted, is a representative one, the executive
authority being vested in the Sovereign of Great Britain, and carried on in the name of the
Crown by a Governor-General, assisted by a Privy Council. These form the chief Government
of the whole Dominion. The legislative branch consists of a Dominion Parliament, composed
of two houses, The Upper House, or Senate, consists of members who are appointed for
life by the Governor-General in Council. The House of Commons is a purely representative
body, elected by the people, the representation being apportioned to the various provinces in the
ratio of their population. Each province enjoys local self-government, having a provincial
legislature elected by the people, and a Lieutenant-Governor appointed by the chief or Federal
Government. There is also a very perfect system of municipal government throughout the
Dominion. Both the counties and townships have local governments or councils which regulate
their local taxation for roads, taxes for schools and other purposes, eo that every maa directly
votes for the taxes which he pays. This system of responsibility, from the municipalities
up to the General Government, causes everywhere a feeling of contentment and satisfaction,
the pe. .'. believing that no other form of government can give them greater freedom.
1 a> utmost religious liberty everywhere prevails in Canada. Persons coming to the Dominion
from 1. urope, of different persuasion, will find places of worship and abundant facilities for the
praclice of their faith among neighbours who will sympathise with their views.
Before school boards were established in England the Dominion had a well-organised system
of public or common schools in operation, in which instruction is not merely confined to the
rudiments of education. In many cases the higher branches aro taught, and the children receive
@ eound practical education, fitting them for any ordinary position in life. Both in the country
districts and in the towns, boards of: trustees, elected by the people, manaye the affairs of the
public schools. Provision is also made fur the establishment of separate schools in districts
where the inhabitants are divided in their religious opinions, and mixed schools are not possible.
The public schools are absolutely free, and are supported partly by a local tax and partly by a
grant from the Provincial Treasury. In addition, there are grammar schools in all parts of the
country, managed like the public schools, at which, as well as at the many excellent private
echools, pupils receive a good classical and modern education. Above these again are the
high schools, collegiate institutes, and universities, the latter liberally endowed with scholarships,
where the cost of attendance is comparatively so smull as to place the facilities for education
they offer within the reach of all. There are also .chools of surgery and medicine in the
larger cities, and the religious denominations also have colleges at which young men aro
prepared for the ministry, The higher education of girls is also met in the fullest manner
by numerous high schools, generally denominational in character. In fact, means of education,
from the highest to the lowest, everywhere abound in the Dominion.
The variations of the Canadian climate are less than in many countries of much smaller
extent. But throughout nearly its whole area Canada is characterised by a greater heat in
summer, and a lower temperature in winter than in corresponding European latitudes. The
climate of the eastern and especially of the western provinces is moderated by the Atlantic and
Pacific Oceans respectively, while the great water system of rivers and lakes, which extends
throughout the Dominion, helps to preserve an equable climate in the interior provinces. The
degrees of latitude, therefore, are a very imperfect guide to the character of the Canadian climate
as compared with that of the British Isles, and any statement of tle mean temperature of the two
isdeceptive. The severity of the winter, as tested by the thermometer, leads to a very exaggerated
impression of Canadian experiences, Owing to the dry, clear, bracing atmosphere which generally
prevails, raw easterly winds and damp fogs are rarely experienced in a Canadian winter. There
are, indeed, every winter some days of intense cold, as in the summer there are brief periods of
equally intense heat, when the thermometer ascends, or descends very much. But throughout
the greater part of the winter season in Canada the sky is bright and clear, and the weather
thoroughly enjoyable. Everywhere the appearance of the snow is.hailed as seasonable and
beneficial. It protects the wheat sown in uutumn from the frost, affords facilities to the farmer
for bringing his produce to market, aids the Jumberman in collecting the fruits of his labour in
the forest at suitable points for transport, and so contributes alike to business and pleasure, In
short, the Canadian climate is marked by the striking contrast of two seasons—summer and
winicr—bringing with them alternations of fruitful labour and of repose, intermingled with
rivers, the

profitable industry and pleasure. This chatacteristic prevails, with slight variations, throughout
the greater part of the Domirion.
While it is impossible, withiti the limits of this introduction, to speak in detail of the
agricultural capabilities of Canada, it may be stated generally that its soil and climate are such
that the country produces a greater variety of grains, grasses, vegetables, and fruits than is
usually grown in Great Britain and Ireland. It possesses the largest extent of cultivable land
yet opened for settlement, adapted to the growth of productions of the temperate climates, not
only on the American Continent, but in the world. Canada is pre-eminently a country of yeoman
farmers. The land is held in possession and tilled by the settler on his own account; and with
every addition to the numbers of its industrious population, fresh acres are recovered from the
wilderness and added to the productive resources and the wealth of the Dominion. By patient
industry and frugality it is in the power of every Canadian to become owner of a house and pro-
prietor of whatever amount of land he can turn to profitable account. The majority of the farms
are small, tilled by the proprietor with his own hands, with the help of his sons and occasional
hired labour in the busy season of harvesting. But capital is also successfully applied to farming,
and large stock farms in the eastern provinces, and latterly in the ranching country at the foot of
the Rocky Mountains, are now carried on with great success,
The forests of Canada abound in fine timber, adapted to almost every variety of useful or
ornamental work, and furnishing one main element of wealth. Their value is becoming more
apparent every year. At present the produce of the forests exceeds in value any other yield of the
growth, produce, or manufacture of the Dominion. The total value of the annual exports of
timber ptoducts approximates £6,000,000, for which Great Britain and the United States are the
principal markets.
The mineral resources are represented by coal fields of immense extent, both on its Atlantic
and Pacific coasts ; and there are large deposits beneath the surface of its prairie lands east of the
Rocky Mountains. It has iron, gold, silver, copper, lead, and other mines of great richness,
and almost every description of tiie most valuable building materials; also petroleum, salt, and
phosphates.
Looking to the native fauna of Canada from an economic point of view, it is abundantly
evident that the animal life of its seas and rivers is one of its great and inexhaustible sources of
wealth. Alike on the sea coasts, in the estuaries, and throughout its great inland lakes and
rivers, the most valuable fish abound. Canada has been esteemed from its earliest discovery for
its valuable fur-bearing animals, and has been the trapping and hunting ground for two centuries
for the Hudson’s Bay Company and other organisations. For sportsmen the country offers
unusual attractions, both in the abundance and variety of its game—which is well distributed
over the backwoods of the eastern provinces, the districts immediately west of Lake Superior, the
prairie region, and in British Columbia. The northern sections of Canada are the breeding
grounds of an immense variety of the feathered tribe.
Thus, with an advantageous geographical position, with resources not widely dissimilar to
those of England, and institutions calculated to secure law and order, civil and religious liberty,
and the best traditions of the mother country, Canada may, in the no distant future, become
the home of one of the most populous and powerful peoples of the earth.

NEW SOUTH WALES.
Ix these brief pages it is only proposed to givo a short account of New South Wales, the
oA Og
= oS
ag great “Mother Colony” from which has sprung all the other English dopendoncics of
zines. Australasia.
Without going into any detailod accounts of the voyages of the early Spanish, Dutch, and Ay
Portuguese navigators in the waters of the Pacific, it is sufficient to recall the fact, that the ai
first Englishman who beheld the Australian coast was the world-ronowned buccaneer, William
Dampier, one of the greatest of English seamen. Dampier merely saw a portion of the
northern coast of the vast Island-Continent, and the present generation of “ Australian
English” owe little to that erratic soafaring genius, inasmuch as his adverse report retarded i
wtlement for many ycars. He briefly denounced the country as a desert, and tho inhabitants uh
« the most. wretched savages on the face of the earth, a character which subsequent ethno- hit
logista have been only too ready to endorse. MW
It was not until the yoar 1770 that Captain Cook sailed into Botany Bay, and, unfurling wit
D ‘ENGINES, the British flag, took possession of tho Island-Continent in the name of the British Crown. This Alii
was in the reign of George IIL, a reign ill-atarred, in that England then lost fur ever her great qv
North American colonies; but during which also, by her unconquerable supremacy at sea, sho oi
was cnabled to compensate herself for her losses in the Atlantic by new and glorious acquisitions ‘i }
in tho Pacific. Fitly, therefore, does Captain Cook’s monument proudly stand in Hyde Park, aa
Sydney, overlooking the Antipodean metropolis which has sprung up on the shores of the serios
of exquisite bays which form the Harbour of Port Jackson.
It was not, however, until the 13th of May, 1787, that any serious attempt to utilise these
new possessions of the British Crown was made. AP
Then it was that England’s great Imperial Ministor—William Pitt—dospatched Captain '
Arthur Phillip, R.N., with certain ships to these newly-acquired territories, and with orders to 4
orm a settlement at the Bay which Cook had named from the luxurious vegetation of its
oping shores.
Phillip finding Botany Bay an unfit spot for his settlement, sailed round to Port Jackson.
ero he landed his 750 persons and founded Sydney, so called after the then Secretary of
tate, and established the nucleus of the great Colony of New South Wales, of which he was the
irst governor.
Governor Phillip was aucceeded by Captain Hunter, and then by Captain King, whose
dmirable reign was followed by the troublous times of Governor Bligh; to whom, after tho
interregnum” of Lioutenant-Cols. Johnstone and Paterson, succeeded Governor Macquarie, from
hose time the prosperity of the Colony may not unfitly be dated.
Passing over the timo of the early explorers, such as Dawes, Patterson, Hacking, Cayley,
‘ann, and Bass, whose discoveries were confined to the coast line, we come to that of William:
harles Wentworth (afterwards the most illustrious of Australian statesmen), who, with Gregory
Blaxland and Lieutenant William Lawson, in May, 1813, effected a passage across the Blue
fountains, and discovered the great plains of the interior,
From this achicvement of these three pioneers, therefore, may be traced what is accurately
scribed as the “opening up” of the country. Governor Macquarie turned their discoveries to
al /) count by sending Surveyor Evans and Major, afterwards Sir Thomas, Mitchell, to open up a

= After the pastoral cra (we are compelled in this brief summary to proceed by “leaps and
nds’) came the era of the gold discoveries. ‘This was followed by the full tide of emigration.

separate colony under the name of Queensland. From these days the history of Now South Wales
is one of ever increasing progress and prosperity. The “settlement,” with its population of
1,000 persons, has developed into a great self-governing colony, with a population of nearly a
million, and with a metropolis, world-renowned for the pre-eminent beauty of its sito, of some
800,000 souls. This briefly is the history of New South Wales from the days of Governor Phillip
to those of Lord Carrington; and it is a not unworthy or ignoble record of a century's
work in what the late Walter Bagehot would call ‘‘ Nation-making.”
New South Wales is situated between the 28° 15’ and 87° 35’ south latitude, and the 141°
and 158° 85’ east longitude, and comprises an area of 310,700 square miles, which in round
numbers is some 200,000,000 acres, and about three times the extent of Great P. ‘tain and Ireland.
‘ Sydney, the capital of the Colony, stands on the shores of Port Jackson, a harbour of romantic
beauty and surpassing lovslmess, not having its equal in the + orld. Wooded to the water's
edge, and stretching inland in a hundred finely rounded bays, land-locked and secure, where all
the mercantile and armed fleets of the world might ride at anchor at one time. The city extends
some four miles north and south, by a breadth of six miles east and west. It has been estimated
to contain about 125 miles of streets, and some 40,006 houses, with a population, inclusive of
ita extensive suburbs, of close on 300,000. The Botanic Gardens, Government Domain, Hyde
Park, Prince Alfred Park, Belmore Park, Victoria Park, Wentworth Park, Moore Park, and
other public reserves, cover an area of 800 acres, and are all easily accessible for purposes of
recreation, forming, like those of London, the “lungs” of the rapidly increasing city. Not onl:
is the population of the metropolis of the Colony increasing with wonderful rapidity, but the
city is being yearly more and more beautified by the splendid new buildings that have been
erected, both for business and residential purposes.
The main wealth of a country is of course its territory, and it is to the rich agricultuml
lands as weil as to the boundless pastoral plaina of New South Wales that its presont progress
and future prosperity must be chiefly attributed. Glancing at the pastoral interest, it reads
like a romance — though the romance be embedded in Mr. Goschen’s favourite form of
figures. In 1792 the live stock of New South Wales, which was then the whole of Australia,
consisted only of 28 head of cattle, 11 horses, 105 sheep, 43 pigs, and a few goats. In 1885, or
during a period of 90 years, the numbers had increased to 9,000,000 cattle, 80,000,000 sheep,
1,500,000 horses, 1,000,000 pigs. These numbers include the live stock of New South Wales and
the other two colonies which separated from her, viz., Victoria and Queensland—as well
as those of Tasmania, South Australia, Western Australia, and New Zealand, which during the
same period have been chiefly stocked from the offspring of the Mother Colony. In the annals
of the world’s history, no country can show such a marvellous progress in pastoral enterprise;
and the lucky “accident” of the introduction of the merino sheep, from which by careful
breeding and natural differentiation from the original Spanish type, New South Wales, at
the Paris International Exhibition of 1878, “obtained the Grande Medaille d@’Honneur,” in
competition against the whole world,
With the increase of population, and by the action of land laws specially designed to settle the
people on small farms, agriculture has more than kept pace with its older pastoral rival. Somo
80,000 persons are engaged in agricultural pursuits alone, and 852,000 acres are under wheat,
barley, oats, maize, and other cereals. This quantity is actually under crop, but some 84,000,000
acres comprise the agricultural holdings of the Colony, of which perhaps 28,000,000 acres are
enclosed.
The following table, compiled from the returns of 21st March, 1885, shows the quantity of
land under cultivation and the produce of each crop :—

4,006,237 tonnage for 1883; while tho return of the vessels registered in the Colony shows a
corresponding increase.
Although these figures afford some slight idea of the enormous material progress o: ‘e
Colony, it is necessary to add a few words in order to illustrate the socia] and intellectual con-
dition of this important portion of our world-wide Empire.
With regard to religion, all the sects stand on the same level of equality, thore being no
** Established ” or State Church. These churches are supported entirely by voluntary subscrip-
tions, as all “State aid” ceased in 1862, except some small outstanding liabilities to the then
existing incumbents. Roughly speaking, out of a population of 950,000 there are some 600,000
Protestants, the great majority belonging to the Church of England, and about 280,000 Roman
Catholics, the remainder being made up of various nationalities. It may be added that the
Protestant bishop of Sydney, the accomplished Dr, Barry, is the Metropolitan; and that the
head of the Roman Catholic Church, Dr. Moran, is the first Cardinal who has been appoi ‘ed
by the Pope to any British dependency. The Catholic and Protestant cathedrals of St. Mary
and St. Andrew are two of the greatest architectural ornaments of the City.
T’\e education of the rising generation has not been neglected by the State. The Public
Instruction Act was pessed in 1880, and under its provisions the teachers are classified as civil
servants. Owing to tne compulsory clauses, great progress has been effected in the matter of
increased attendances, and new schools. The decennial return shows an increase from 1\536
schools in 1875, to 2,585 in 1884, and from 124,756 scholars to 202,519. If we add to these live
figures the numbers of those attending private schools, we should probably find a school p»pu!atio:
of some 280,000, or almost one-third of the entire population of the Colony. The gio
expenses of working the Public Instruction Act—in school sites, building, furniture, &c., excceds
£700,000 annually.
The crown of the educational system of the Colony is the University of Sydney, incorporated
in 1851, and which owes its existence largely to the patriotic efforts of the great Australian
statesman, Wentworth, aided by Sir Charles Nicholson, and other prominent colonists,
It enjoys a public grant of £16,000 annually, but has been enriched by princely bequests fron
wealthy colonists, the largest of which is that of Mr. Challis, for £180,000. Its degrees and
diplomas are both recognised through the British world, and its Professors and Lecturers,
including, until his death, the illustrious Badham, Lave always been men of high academic
distinction,
Following the worthy example of the City and Guilds of the London Institute, the Board of
Technical Education established a Technical College in August, 1883.
Sydney also possesses a Muscum, Free Public Library, and National Art Gallery, where
much of the genius and culture of the Old World has been introduced into the New.
It remains to add that the public press of the Colony has kept pace with its oth
progressive institutions; and in the admjrable daily and weekly journals, the residents
Sydney have the means of knowing what is going on all over the civilised world.
Even a summary so necessarily brief as this should serve to show that our race in New South
Wales, though under brighter skies, and under somewhat more democratic social conditions, ha
not in any way fallen back from their sires of the old land in the unceasing struggle for existen
that marks the progress of communities as well as the lives of individuals.

LIAN MUSEUM). (EH. P. RAMSAY,
Curator.]—Australian Sponges.
Dr, Von. Lendenfeld estimates the number
of known species of Australian spouges at 350.
Considering how little is known of the Austra-
lian Marine Invertebrates, compared with those
of European seas, this number shows that there
must be more species of sponges in Australian
waters than in any other locality of similar
extent.
Divided from the other continents by mostly
deep, and for shallow-water sponges unsurpas-
sable oceans, Australia has a sponge Fauna of:
its own. Only three or four European species
have up till now been discovered in Australia.
The collection of Sponges in the Australian
Museum comprises nearly all Australian species,
and will be found enumerated and described in
the catalogues published by that Institution.
The species exhibited are described in that
catalogue. They are few in number, for limit
of space precluded a more extensive display.

| By Jamns Tuomsoy,
Sectetary to the Royal Commission for Victoria.
In the comparatively limited space, allotted’ for the introductory notices of each:of the
Colonies represented at the Exhibition, it is not possible to give anything like a detailed
description of their varied products and resources, or of their remarkable material and social
development and progress. This is more particularly the case ‘with the colony of Victoria, one
of the youngest members of the great family of the British Empire, but whose history-and
sdvancement is amongst’ the most interesting and wonderful events of the century, With the
view of furnishing the people of Great Britain with the latest and most reliable information
repecting the Colony—its progress, resources, and future prospects—the Government : has,
through the Royal Commission’ for Victoria, prepared a handsomely illustrated ‘Handbook of
Victoria,’ for circulation in connection with the Colonial’ Exhibition, ‘This work contains
specially written articles by gentlemen possessing extensive and diversified Australian
perience, and who are recognized as authorities on the subjects which they have severally
midertaken. The history and progress of the Colony, its leading industries, and the social and
f MACHINER saterial condition of the people, are all fully dealt with, while numerous engravings are given of
baracteristic scenery, public buildings, mines, vineyards, and other objecta of interest. It is
‘ mainly from Mr. Julian Thomas’s interesting article on Victoria that the present notice has
wen taken, want of space only compelling its curtailment.
The colony of Victoria lies at the south-eastern extremity of the vast Australian continent,
etween the 34th and 39th parallels of south latitude, and the J41st and 150th meridians of east
mgitude. Its extreme length is about 420 miles, its greatest breadth about 260 miles, and its
xtent of coast line nearly 600 geographical miles. On the north and north-east it is bounded
y the colony of New South Wales, and on the west by the colony of South Australia. On thie
puth-east its shores are washed by the Pacific Ocean, and on the south by the Southern Ocean.
he area of Victoria is 87,884 square miles, or 56,245,760 acres, being about a thirty-fourth of
NETTING he whole continent of Australia, and nearly as large as England, Wales, Scotland, and
eland combined. Although not the largest of the Australian colonies, Victoria is the most

turers, opulation of all Australia, It also with justice claims to be the richest and most prosperous
England’s colonies in the Southern hemisphere.
Several attempts were made in the early part of the present century to colonise that part of
natralia now known as Victoria, but they ended in failures, and it was not until the year 1835
t permanent settlement was commenced on the site at present occupied by the city of
elbourne. Good land was discovered in various parts of the district then known only as Port
hilip, and a steady stream of population soon set in. Melbourne, the infant city, was named
her the Prime Minister of England at that time, and it soon rose into importance. In 185u,
ly fifteen years after its settlement, Port Philip had a revenue’ of £230,000, its Exports
ounted to nearly a million sterling, and its population had increased by rapid strides to
000. This was a year before the discovery of gold, which “ uplifted the Colony in a night to
¢ position of a nation and a power in the world, and advanced her destinies hundreds ot
ars at one bound.” In the year 1851 Port Philip became a separate colony and was

gland, and who has ever since ruled the vast Empire of which Australia forms.a part.

most successfulm Victoria, however, should not be judged only by its metropolis. The inland townships
rve mention. Ballarat, the second city in the Colony, is situated exactly 100 miles from
bourne. It well bears the title of the “Golden City.” In the early days, the gold-yielding
wers of Ballarat were simply marvellous. No district in the world produced ao much gold
such a short space of time. It has been stated that, in many instances, “claims,” not more
n 8 feet square and about the same depth, yielded from £10,000 to £12,000 each. At the
nce Regent mine, men made as much as £16,000 each for a few months’ work. At one claim,
ubful of dirt yielded £3,825. The “Welcome Nugget,” found in 1858, was sold for £10,500.
me days have gone, but Ballarat, as it is now, is still more wonderful than when gold was, in
truth, “more plentiful than blackberries,” when it was “scattered a thousand times like seeds
bm the earth.” Anthony Trollope, some thirteen years ago, said with justice, of Ballarat, that

. Sandhurst, or, as it was formerly termed, Bendigo, is a little over 100 miles from Melbourne,
Tt has about. the same: population as Ballarat, 40,000. In 1851, shortly after the first gold
discovery, Sandhurst was found to contain that precious metal in such abundance that in a short
time it became famous for the number of its immense nuggets, the best known of which was the
“Victoria Nugget,” which was bought by the Victorian Goverment and presented to Her
Majesty. In 1872 Sandhurst took rank as a principal Victorian city, It is certainly equal to
avy European city of the same size, The most prominent buildings are the Masonic Hall, the
Town Hall, and hospital, together with a very fine theatre. The streets of Sandhurst are
beautifully planted with English trees, the cool shade of which is as pleasant to visitors as to
the residents. In the centre of the town is a public fernery known as ‘ Rosamond’s Bower,”
Pall Mall is the principal business thoroughfare, The streets have a total length of, about 100
ppwey Sundhurst is rich in other ways besides gold. The district produces yearly more than
,000 bushels of grain, 17,000 tons of hay, and some 100,000 gallons of good wine. Fruits of
4 kinds grow most luxuriantly in the volcanic soil. An excellent panoramic view of Sandhurst
as shown close to the gold arch of Victoria,
Schools of Mines have been established at Sandhurst and Ballarat, to which are attached
museums, containing geological and technological specimens, models of mining machinery and
mining plant, sections of mines, and geological maps and plans. At these eachools instruction
is given not only in the various branches of ecionce connected with mining operations, in the
theory and practice of mining and safe conduct of mining works, mining surveying and mining
engineering, but aleo in many other subjects not necessarily connected with mining. Sthdents
at the Sandhurst school number about 880, and at the Ballarat achool about 500. The annual
income of the two institutions is about £5,900, of which all but £1,900 is granted by Government,
Schools of Design have also been established at twenty-five other places in Victoria, in connexion
with a Royal Commission for promoting technological and industrial instruction. There are
over 2,800 pupilsion the rolls of these schools. An exhibition of the works of pupils is held
yearly in Melbourne, and local exhibitions are held in other towns.
Geelong, which takes rank as fourth in Victorian cities, is picturesquely situated in Cotio
Bay. At ono time it was thought it would continue to rival Melbourne, and from its fine
harbour, position, and rich back country there was a good foundation for the idea. But an ides
it remains, although Geelong is ever ready to come to the front. Some important woollen
factories are situated here, and “ Geelong tweeds” are celebrated in the colonies. There is no
danger of any “ Mississippi wool” getting into this fabric. In the Western District of Victoria
there are many important towns, Warrnambool being the chief centre as well as an important
shipping port. Belfast and Portland rank next to Warrnambool as sea-port towns. Hamilton,
nearer to the South Australian border, is the capital of a fine pastoral district. In the east, Sale
is the chief town in Gippsland, an extensive and prosperous division of the Colony, which wa
discovered by Mr. Angus MacMillan in 1889, Echuca, on the Murray, is the principal city in
the North of Victoria. In the old days this was a crossing-place for stock from New South
Wales. From Echuca there is a vast river traffic. During the winter months, when the
Murray’s waters are swelled by the thousand tributaries from the Australian Alps, steamers ply
to Albury on the one hand, and to South Australia, New South Wales, and far inland rivers o
the other. _ Echuca, a river-port, is only second to Melbourne in the amount of. its shippin
tonnage inwards and outwards. Castlemainc, Stanwell, Maryborough, Kyneton, Hamilton,
AMastrnambool, and Horsham, are all handsome Victorian towns; these, with the names of 1
number of others, being shown in the Court.
It is but 50 years since the first settlement was made in Victoria ; now it onatabes a millia
of inhabitants. Melbourne, its capital, is the largest city in the Southern hemisphere, iW
population being'320,000, The country is traversed by a network of 1,700 miles of railway, an
dotted with prosperous townships. Its imports are valued at £20,201,633, its exports #
£16,050,465, Last year gold yielded 778,618 oz.; pastoral produce about £10,000,000; agrica!
tural produce £6,500,000,. Manufacturing interests have been fostered in the capital and othe
towns of the Colony; the yearly value of manufactured goods is computed at £18,500,000. The

Melbourne, The Colony possesses an Observatory and a Government Astronomer, who, like the
Government Botanist, isa scientist of world-wide repute, Victoria has aleo a military and naval
force, and the shores are well protected, Victorians are proud of their Colony, but they are also
proud of being Australians of British blood. More than 95 per cent. of the Victorian population
is British, or of British parentage, and England and Great Britain are yet spoken of as “ home,”
and in spite of the establishment of the Melbourne University, which grants every degree except
those in Divinity, a large number of Victorian youths are yearly sent “home” to school and
college (partly, it is said, becnuse the examinations are much easier there). That the British
race in Victoria docs not suffor deterioration is amply proved by the fact that in each of the
University boats in the memorable struggle of the 8rd of April last was a Victorian born
oareman; Mr. 8. Fairbairn, who rowed No. 5 for Cambridge, and Mr. Robertson, who pulled
No. 8 in the Oxford boat. On several previous occasions Victorian natives have occupied similar
positions, while as members of various Australian elevens, they have well maintained the honour
of their adopted home in the cricket field, There is room for many of the British race;
for although, by the side of the flocks and herds of the squatter, one sces the corn-
fields and potato-patches of the small farmer, and the vineyards of the wine-maker, thero
is plenty of forest yet to be cleared and good land to be cultivated. ‘There is a tendency
in Victoria, as in all the colonies, to centralization in the cities and townships, the urban popu-
lation amounting to more than half the population of the whole Colony. The factories and
mechanical trades absorb. perbaps too large a proportion of our youth. Girls, too, prefer to
work sewing-machines in the clothing warehouses to domestic service, although they would find
the lutter a better paid and easier employment. The immigrants most welcomed in Victoria
will be female servants and country labourers, men who can tight churlish Nature, or train her
in softer moods, as the early pioneers of the Colony did.
To the early pioneers of Victoria may be traced much of the spirit of enterprise and
perseverance which has always characterised the Colony. From Henty and Batman and Fawkner
and Robertson, to the men of the last decade, farmer or sailor, or trader or miner, they were all
the very salt of the earth. During the gold fever, the brains and the blood, the mental courage,
as well as the bone and muscle, of Europe flocked thither; and the fittest survived. Victoria
has ever been essentially a pioneer Colony. It owed nothing to Government aid; in fact its
early prosperity was retarded by Government interference. It was founded solely by individual
energy; and its people have ever remained pioneers. It is in their blood. Victorians, Burke
and Wills were the first to cross the continent in 1860. They lost their lives, but made their
names immortal. A massive monolith of granite was placed over their graves in the Melbourne
Cemetery, and a fine bronze statue of the two explorers, from a design by Charles Summers,
still remains an object lesson for our youth, The Burke and Wills expedition cost the people
of Victoria £57,000. The end justified it, for within two years of the death of the leaders from
starvation “‘tierces of beef were displayed in Melbourne, salted down from cattle pasturing on
the epot where they perished.” Far away in the “back blocks” in the centre of the Continent,
in the sugar lands of the North, on every new gold-field, Victorian muscle and energy and capital
are to be found. In the South Sea Islands, in the pearl fisheries of Torres Straits and Western
Australia, Victorian pioneers are foremost; and Victorian enterprise has done much towards the
exploration of New Guinea. Although they claim Victoria to be the richest, the most populous,
the most prosperous, and the most energetic of all the Australian colonies, yet Victorians were
the first to raise their voices for the Federation of the Colonies, the Political Unity of Australia.
Then the peoples of all the provinces, at present divided by local prejudices and jealousies
will be joined together; and some day in the future, following out the manifest destiny of the
British race with the dear old mother country, and her eldest-born the United States of America,
Will be linked together in a strong bond, ruling land and scas and giving laws to all the world.

RLD, SOUTH AUSTRALIA.
Tus aim of this preface is to give to the British public, in a concise manner, some information
DLES, reapecting one of England’s great Antipodean Colonies, The importance of the Australian
wttlements is apparent to anyone who has visited them, or who from a distance has had occasion
tomake himself acquainted with their advancement in national wealth, or to contemplate their
immense natural resources—which at present are only in the infancy of development. The vast
proportion of the British public, however, know little of Australia—the “Greater Britain” of
E the Southern seas—and it is hoped that the Handbook distributed by the South Australian
Ss Ss, Commission will be helpful in disseminating practical information of service to all who aro
interested in the triumphs of British colonisation, but particularly to those who may contemplate
s removal from the crowded populations of the United Kingdom to the attractive fields
presented by Britain’s Colonies. It will not be the privilege of the writer to draw upon a
tich historic past for the story he has to tell. There may be open to him no daring
nilitary achievements to invest his story with the glory of national renown; there may
be no venerable institutions or relics, with inspirations of reverence and wonder; and
there may be no magnificent literature to command the attention or awaken the interest
if the student and the scholar. Scarcely fifty years have passed since South Australia was
proclaimed a British Colony, and yet the record of this half-century is full of interest to all
rho care to note the advancement of the Anglo-Saxon stock. The bold enterprise, the indomitable
pluck, the dogged perseverance, and the love of freedom, which form such striking characteristics
of the English race, have been called into full operation in the peaceful subjugation of
jimeval wastes to the service of man and their rapid transformation into a hive of human
industry. Few pages in the history of British colonisation are fuller of interest than those which
reord the establishment and growth of these countries in the Southern Hemisphere, that are
nguely known in Europe under the generic name of “ Australia.” The story of how a handful
if Britons have, within the cycle of a century, founded countries that are rivalling Old World
tutions in wealth and power and in the elegances of advanced civilisation is instructive and
ispiriting. It speaks of the vigour and genius of the old stock re-asserting itself in the younger
trength and ardent effort of the offshoots ; and it shows how the same characteristics of courage,
ugacity, perseverance, industry, and prudence, which have made England what she is, are
operating in the development of these daughter-nations under the Southern Cross, In these
pages special attention will be drawn to one of the seven Colonies that form the Australasian
possessions of Great Britain—The Province of South ‘Australia,
In the year 1881, Captain Sturt—one of the earliest Australian explorers—discovered the
great River Murray, which runs down into South Australia, and empties itself into the Southern
Ocean; and, on his return to Sydney, gave a glowing report of the fertile country he had seen
it a distance, but was unable to explore. In the early part of the same year a few gentlemen
net in London to discuss the propriety of founding, on the southern shores of Australia, a Colony
ton principles which at that time were advanced principles of Political Economy. The
* Chait Gay ptomoters opened up negotiations with the Imperial Government, but were not successful, and
Myrabolanes the project fell through. The matter was not, however, allowed to slumber very long. In 1834
hieros~ the project was renewed, and in June of that year a meeting of gentlemen was held at Exeter Hall,
London, to discuss the principles upon which the proposed settlement should be founded. Just at
ork, that time a scheme of colonisation propounded by Mr. Edward Gibbon Wakefield was attracting
DON. ttention. That gentleman, thoughtfully observing the course of events in the other Australian
Colonies, had come to the conclusion that land without the operation of capital and labour was
ueless, He sought to give a fixed price toland; to provide that land should only be sold, and
Mt disposed of by free grants; and to apply the proceeds of waste lands to the cost of importing

labour from the crowded cities and towns of the United Kingdom, These principles commended
themselves to the promoters, who in 1884 secured the passing of an Act by the Imperial
Legislature authorising the Sovereign to erect one or more provinces in that part of Australia
lying between the 182nd and 141st meridians of east longitude, and between the Southern Ocean
and the 26th degree of south latitude. To the persons who should resido within the said province
or provinces was accorded freedom of action—they were not to be subject to the law or or~stitution
of any other part of Australia; and furthermore it was provided—and the sagan the
originators in this respect is worthy of mention—that no criminals should at any tin. .. ander
any circumstances be transported to any place within the limits described. The curso of
convictism therefore has never attached itself to the Province of South Australia.
The first Commissioners appointed under the Act were eight in number—viz., Colonel Torrons,
F.R.S. (Chairman), and Messrs, W. A. Mackinnon, M.P., Jacob Montefiore, W. Hutt, MP,
Geo. Palmer, Jun., John Wright, Geo. Fife Angas, and Samuel Mills. Only one of these
Commissioners survives, and it is an interesting circumstance that this survivor—Mr, Jacob
Monteflore—is one of the Hon, Commissioners for South Australia at the Colonial and Indian
Exhibition in London in 1886, To him—in his advanced age—it must be a source of deep
gratification that he has been spared to see a Colony, in the inception of which he took a doop
personal interest, qualified’ to honourably take her position among | the colonies of Britain in tho
interesting and important Exhibition before referred to,
The project of colonisation, however, almost proved abortive, The Imperial Act provided
that a sum of £35,000 must be raised before the powers given under the Act could be exercised,
and the scheme hung fire. Just then, however, the late Mr. George Fife Angas, who was ono of
the Commiasioners, came to the rescue, He formed an association known as “The South
Australian Company,” and resigning his commissionership, he assumed the chairme’ _ > of the
company: This company subscribed the balance of capital required, and the scheme: ‘gation
proceeded. The late Sir James Hurtle Fisher was appointed Resident Commiso. in the
Colony, and the late Colonel Light was sent out, as first Surveyor-General, to choose a site for
the capital, and push on the survey of the l.2d for settlers. In August, 1836, Colonel Light
arrived at Kangaroo Island, and thence he proceeded to the mainland east of St. Vincent's Gulf,
where he commenced his work, and selected the present site of the capital—Adelaide, In the
following December the first Governor of South Australia—Captain Hindmarsh, R.N.—arrived
and took possession of the land in the name of the Sovereign of England, on the 28th December,
1836, the anniversary of which day is always closely kept as a public holiday,
Since the ‘proclamation of the Province South Australia has witnessed many changes in
fortune, but through all her vicissitudes she has made substantial advancement, Some of the
other Colonies have attained wealth and importance by the discovery of rich goldfields, tho
development of which has enormously increased their resources, besides attracting — as few
other discoveries have the power of doing —a large and able-bodied population from
distance, These resources of wealth and population, springing from adventitious circumstances,
have made the progress of some of the other Australian provinces quite phenomenal in its
character. The advancement of South Australia, on the other hand, has been achieved ly
patience, endurance, industry, and enterprise. Although rich goldfields have not been discovered,
gold is found in many parts of the Colony, and the many productive copper mines have poured
out great mineral wealth. Indeed, on more than one occasion South Australia has mado onwarl
progress, due to the rich yields of copper from the far-famed Kapunda, Burra Burra, Moonts,
Wallaroo, and other mines.
South Australia is, with the single exception of Western Australia, the largest 1 in area of the
Australian Colonies, and it stretches across the whole island continent from south to north. Its
southern shores are washed by the Southern Ocean, whilst the waters of the Indinn Ocean lav
its northern coasts. It touches all the mainland Colonies of Australia, being contiguous to Nev
South Wales, Victoria and Queensland on the east, and is bounded on the west by the extensiv
Colony of Western Australia, extending from lat. 38° to 26°, between the 129th and 141st meri:
dian of east long., and from lat. 26° to the northern coast, between the 129th and 189th meridian.
Running right up through the centre of Australia, it covers an area extending from latitude 3°
to latitude 11°, and from the 129th to the 141st meridians of east longitude. Twice since th
establishment of the Colony its limits have been extended: In 1861, a strip of land between tht

boundaries of South and Western Australia, south of lat, 26°, was detached ifrom New South
Wales and annexed to South Australia by the Imperial Legislature; and in 1863, after the
adventurous journey ‘of the gallant explorer, Jolm MoDonall Stuart, across the heart of the
Australian continent, the northern boundary of the colony, which was originally the 26th parallel
of latitude, was shifted to the northern coast line, thus bringing within her borders tho largo
area now known as “ The Northern Territory.”
The area of South Australia (including the Northern Territory) is 578,861,600 acres, an arca
which affords “ample scope and verge enough” for an extensive population, At the present
date (January, 1886) 10,642,963 acres have been alienated; the remainder being available for
sgrioultural, pastoral, and minernl settlement.
The area of mineral land, or land held under mineral lease, is comparatively small ; so that,
wughly speaking, the whole province may be divided into country of two classes—agricultural
snd pastoral land. Of the alienated land, a very large proportion is devoted to agriculture,
horticulture, viticulture, market gardening, and like purposes, whilst the balance is used almost
exclusively for raising sheep and cattle. The liberalisation of the land laws, some years ago,
gave an enormous stimulus to agricultural settlement, eo that the area now under wheat is
immensely larger than it was.
The following information is from the Statistical Register for 1884, the latest official record.
The increase of population during the year was, by births 7058, by immigration 1208,
making the total number on the 31st of December 312,781 persons, composed of 164,877 males, and
147,904 females. In 1875 the population was 210,442, and in 1880 it was 267,573. During the
year 1884, 356 foreignors obtained letters of naturalisation, and thereby became British subjects ;
of these 44 were Russians, 186 Germans, 114 Chinese, and the others made up of various nation-
slities, The proportion of births per thousand of the population was 37:69, the proportion of
marriages 9°40 per thousand, and the proportion of deaths 15:24 per thousand.
The area of land alienated from the Crown in 1884 was 10,767,605 acres. In 1875 it was
little over 6,000,000 acres. The area under cultivation was, in 1875, 1,444,586 acres; in 1884,
9,785,490 acres. ‘The area of land enclosed in 1875, 20,286,007 acres; in 1884, 53,444,411 acres.
The production of wheat, the principal crop, was in 1875, 10,739,834 bushels; in 1884, 14,621,755
bushela, In 1884 there were in the Colony—horses, 162,420; horned cattle, 389,726; sheep,
6,696,406; goats, 8159; pigs, 163,807; poultry, 927,909. The shipment of wool amounted in
1875 to the value of £2,066,227; in 1884 to £2,618,626. The shipment of minerals amounted in
1875 to £762,386, in 1884 to £491,950. The production of wine in 1884 was 473,535 gallons.
The value of imports amounted in 1875 to £4,203,802; in 1884, £5,749,353. The value of
exports amounted in 1875 to £4,805,050; in 1884, £6,623,704. The proportion of imports from
the United Kingdom in 1884 was £2,983,296, the balance being from other places. The combined
import and export trade of the Colony was in 1875, £9,008,851; in 1884, £12,373,057.
The arrivals of shipping were in 1884—British, 768,301 tons; foreign, 141,034 tons; total,
909,885 tons. The number of vegsels belonging to Port Adelaide were—in 1875, steamers, 75,
tonnage, 7443; sailing vessels, 212, tonnage, 24,948. In 1884, steamers, 88, tonnage, 10,665;
tailing vessels, 220, tonnage, 27,931.
In 1875 the general revenue of the Colony amounted to £1,148,312; in 1880 it was
£2,027,968, and in 1884 it amounted to £2,024,928. The expenditure in 1884 upon public works
was £2,163,149; a large proportion was provided from loan funds. The amounts expended by
Corporations and District Councils was £114,537, The receipts from Government railways were,
during 1884, £424,416.
The number of churches or chapels existing in 1884 was 928; the number of sittings pro-
vided, 200,123; the number of Sunday-schools was 727; teachers, 6729; scholars, 57,311.
The number of public schools in 1884 was 227; scholars, 42,758; persons employed in
teaching, 1000. Cost of department, exclusive of expenditure on buildings, £76,879. In addition
to these there are 287 private schools with 11,296 scholars. There are over 112 country institutes,
which have libraries attached to them containing an aggregate of 98,688 volumes,
In the year 1884 there were 1085 miles of railway open for traffic, The total number of
Passengers conveyed since they have been open is 34,194,692,

QUEENSLAND.
In December last, the Colony of Queensland completed her twenty-sixth year; and, as was the
case with Victoria, this, the latest-born of the Australian group, was named after Her Most
Gracious Majesty.. The scattered 25,000 British subjects who were thus constituted as a separate
Colony at the close of 1859, had assigned to them 668,224 square miles (427,663,860 acres) of then
almost unknown territory,'‘an area about five-and-a-half times the size of the United Kingdom;
and in the subsequent twenty-six years the population has grown up to 325,000, or to thirteen times
what it was a quarter of a century ago. Even as it is, the population of Queensland is not one-
tenth that of London. But then, the herds of cattle and the flocks of sheep she already possesses
would serve to feed'two Londons easily; and from Queensland sheep, wool is now-a-days clipped
to the-weight of: some 42,472,000 lbs. annually, worth about one-half the entire wool clip of the
United Kingdom... Queensland is no longer the string of isolated settlements, surrounded by an
unpeopled . wilderness, sho was: in 1860. It is true that the Government have as yet parted
with the fee simple of only about. 11,500,000 acres out of the above 427,663,360; but a further
316,000,000 acres have been leased as sheep and cattle runs; and thus it is that the Colony is no
longer lying idle in any direction. If the people are scanty, the Colony is in possession of
4,162,000 cattle (a considerably larger total than is in the possession of al! the other Australian
Colonies put together) and of 8,994,000 sheep; while the horses number 258,116." Here of itself
there. is occupation for a large and rapidly increasing population: When Queensland was
established in 1860, her population was less than ‘oné-third that'of Tasmania, and only one-fifth
that of South Australia; but though both these other Australian Colonies have grown steadily,
Queensland has now passed them. It.will'be shown that Queensland possesses other exceptional
sources of wealth besides her cattle and sheep runs; and the development of her resources in this
vast territory has resulted in a great and increasing flow of British capital and labour into the
Colony. But labour in the Old Country has not the means of conveying itself to the New; and so
the Government and inhabitants of the Colony have together expended about £3,000,000 (including
£1,065,000 in the past four years) in assisting the working classes to the Colony. In fact,
Queensland at the present time assists a larger number of emigrants from Great Britain than all
the reat of Australasia put together. ‘
Yet not so very man, years ago it was thought that much of this north-east quarter of
Australia was unsuitable for European settlement. The present town of Rockhampton has been
built just within the Tropic of Capricorn; and whereas at no point does Queensland extend so
much as 400 miles to the southward of this tropic, Cape York, the most northerly point of the
Colony, is more than 800 miles within it, and a good:deal of the low-lying land is tropical in the
character of its vegetation. But a short distance inland there are long ranges of mountains, often
stretching down to the coast, and attaining an elevation at times of 6000 ft.; and it is largely
owing to the proximity of this elevated country that the winter may almost be described as
bracing, with oftentimes sharp frosts at night. The summer may be regarded as the rainy season,
especially within the tropics, and is naturally hot; but Queensland possesses this advantage over
Southern Australia, that even in winter the vegetation is not altogether arrested; while a northerly
wind in summer will render both Adelaide and Melbourne hotter than Brisbane is. At Brisbane
the average temperature is 70°, the maximum temperature in 1884 being 102°, and the minimum 40°,
as compared with 105°6°, and 380°2° in Melbourne, and with 110° and 35° in Adelaide. The sea
breezes in summer also tend to keep the coast without excessive heat; and though to the west of
the mountain ranges a higher range of temperature is experienced, it is not hotter than in the
western areas of New South Wales. It may here be remarked that after about 200 miles from the
eastern coast, the rivers are either found to flow north-west into the Gulf of Carpentaria, or south-
west into the Darling River, or into Central South Australia. With the exception of the Murray,
it may be said that moat of the longest and finest rivers in Australia take their rise in Queensland ;
and not a few of them, like the Fitzroy, Brisbane, Burdekin, Mitchell, Gilbert, Norman, Flinders,
ie

a er rao
and Leichhardt rivers, are situated wholly in Queensland. With regard to the Darling, it may be
said that its navigation dcpends almost entirely upon the rainfall in Southern Queensland. All
along the east coast of tropical Queensland at a varying distance, but seldom many miles from
shore, there stretches the Great Barrier Reef, interspersed with numberless coral islets, and thus
the force of the waves from the Pacific is broken. The entire eastern coast line is most picturesquo,
with a succession of islands, bold headlands and harbours, and with the lofty ranges of the mainland
seldom out of sight. But in strong contrast with this is the coast-line of the Gulf of Carpentaria,
which is everywhere flat, and for some distance inland unattractive and often swampy.
It is said that every kind of temperate and tropical product can be grown in Queensland,
Upon the Downs, wheat, oats, and barley flourish, and are grown for hay and green-food for cattlo,
as well as for grain. But a decidedly larger area is devoted to maize, from which an average
crop of about 25 bushels per acre is obtained. Both English and sweet potatoes are ‘cultivated;
the growth and make of sugar is now represented by upwards of 55,900 tons manufactured; the
arrowroot grown in 1884 was 574,768 lbs.; and tobacco, coffee, cotton, oranges, peaches, grapes,
pine-apples, bananas, and English fruit are alsocultivated. The fruit it has been found impossible
to bring for exhibition here, but sugar is extensively shown; and it will be seen it bears comparison
with the products of the West Indies and the Mauritius. So also are coffee, tobacco, rice, wheat
and flour, arrowroot, and cassava. Then, too, there is Queensland rum, preparations from Queens-
land Eucalyptt, and hundreds of exhibits of Queensland timbers, some manufactured, others
varnished, and others yet again in the rough: These will serve in a measure to show the numerous
descriptions of vegetable products raised in Queensland. They already give employment to a
considerable population, and the agricultural resources of the Colony will in time be greatly
extended.
But no reference has yet been made to the Queensland mines. These are of altogether
exceptional richness, and have yet to be developed. The mineral collections shown by tho
Government, as well as by private enterprise, are of a very complete character. Gold ores and
quartz cf all descriptions, silver and silver-lead ores, coal, tin, copper, manganese, chrome iron
ore, plumbago, stone from Queensland quarries, and clay and shale are all of them represented ;
and there is no section of the Australian continent so rich in regard to minerals as Queensland is.
Thus, as regards gold ;—

New Zealand (1880)", 98, 460 81,18% 0 17 12
This is sufficient to show that the richness of the Queensland quartz is far in excess of that
in the other Colonies ; and it may be mentioned that, in all, some 600 or 700 tons of Queensland
gold quartz have been sent home for exhibition, either in the Queensland Court, or for crushing
and treating by the gold-reduction machinery. The Charters, Towers, and Gympie gold fields
have now been connected with the coast by railway, and the extensions in progress will bring a
further large extent of auriferous country within access of the port. Quite as important are the
sanctioned railway extensions to the great tin and silver deposits at Herberton, and to the copper
mines of Cloncurry. It is the opinion of the Government geologist that the Cloncurry copper
lodes are the richest yet discovered in Australia, if not in the world; but a railway of 230 miles
is requisite to connect them with the gulf of Carpentaria, and as yet the Colony places but little
copper in the market. In 1883 the value was £30,872, and it was less in 1884, works being
practically ata standstill until railway communications are in a more advanced state. Tin is

found in more accessible localities, and the yield in 1884 was 3,388 tons, the value being set down
at £130,460 at the place of production. At the port of shipment, however, it was £228,457, and
the addition fairly indicates the importance of improved communications, The value of the galena
(silver-lead) raised in 1884 was £35,327; and this description of mining enterprise is also destined
largely to extend, as the ores are very rich in silver. As yet, the quantities of antimony and
manganese worked are not large; but the coal mines of Queensland in 1884 yielded 120,727 tons,
and this is a description of mining to which it is impossible to assign limits. At present almost
the whole of this coal is raised in the Ipswich district, whence there is direct railway communica-
tion with Brisbane; but there is good coal at Maryborough and at other places, specimens of
which are now being exhibited here. In this particular New South Wales and Queensland are
placed at a considerable advantage over the rest of Australia, in which coal is wanting. A good
deal of building stone is now being raised from Queensland quarries, including bluestone, free-
stone, and some marble. It may be safely asserted that the world is destined to hear a great deal
more of Queensland mining enterprise, possessing as she does all the most important known metals
and minerals in great abundance,
Public works, including railways, telegraphs, roads and bridges, harbour and river improve-
ments, and reservoirs for securing water supply during dry seasons, have been pressed forward
ag rapidly as is consistent with the influx of labour and capital. It has been pointed out that the
Government debt of Queensland now averaging £60 per head is as high, measured in this way, a8
that of any country in the world, and a great deal higher than that of the mother country. But
this is an altogether misleading statement, for the debt of Queensland has been incurred, almost
the whole of it, upon reproductive works, and in fulfilling the duties of the ground landlord ;
and the effect of this upon the revenue is shown in the following figures :—

Queensland : 812 7 8 4 3 118 9 815 7

The debt, in fact, is incurred with the direct object of increasing the contributions to revenue,
and at the same time opening up a territory of 1200 miles long by 900 miles broad to the outer
world. In Queensland there is not the same tendency to concentrate at one centre as there is at
Sydney, Melbourne, and Adelaide; consequently along the large extent of coast line (2250 miles),
there are a number of important ports—Brisbane, hockhampton, Townsville, Maryborough, Port
Douglas, Mackay, Thursday Island, Cooktown, Bundaberg, Cairns, Gladstone, and Normanton (on
the Gulf of Carpentaria), being the twelve principal, and ranking about in the order named. The
present population of Brisbane approaches 50,000; that of Rockhampton is about 12,000; Mary-
borough, 11,000; Townsville, 10,000; Ipswich, about 8000; and Toowoomba, 6000. ‘The
leading exports are wool, gold, sugar, tin, hides and skins, pearl-shell, tallow, live-stock, preserved
meat, béche-de-mer, and silver ore; while the imports mainly consist of British manufactures.
The total value of the external trade of Queensland imports and exports, which in 1860 was
£1,267,500, has now risen until in 1884 it reached £11,055,840.
At the present time there are 1407 miles of railway in operation in the Colony, and a further
tonsiderable mileage under construction ; there are 11,636 miles of telegraph wire—which is more
han in any other Australasian Colony, except New South Wales; there are 425 State schools,
vith 1161 teachers; the banking deposits to the 80th September, 1885, were £6,915,763, apart
tom the £1,340,255 in the hands of the Government savings banks at the end of the year. These
o atatistics of a miscellaneous character, but they all testify to the growth and vigour of this
outhful Colony.

GROUP VIII. (b.)
Queensland Commissioners’ Exhibits of Indigenous Timber and other Forest Products
comprise an extensive collection of 427 exhibits in book-block, plank, and veneer. Some few
remarks are necessary to account for what otherwise might be considered as defects in some of
the samples. These defects are principally noticeable in the plank exhibits, several of which
will be found to have slightly cracked or split at the ends; for this, allowance will readily be
made by practical men when informed that in no case has time been allowed for seasoning,
neither could advantage be taken of the proper period for felling thetrees. It must be borne in
mind that this collection had to be got together hurriedly, leaving no time even for selecting
the most suitable tree; thus, the first to band was felled, and a four-feet length of the stem
forwarded to the establishment in Brisbane, where all the exhibits were immediately prepared.
‘This will account also for the stains observable in several of the softer woods, which, being full of
sap when cut, became discoloured before reaching their destination—in some cases nearly 2,000
miles from their local habitat.
Although many of the kinds are in sufficient quantity to allow of being exported, this
display of the colony’s woods has been prepared rather with a view to point out to intending
emigrants and others that Queensland possesses in her indigenous vegetation woods suitable for
all and every kind of work. ,

WESTERN AUSTRALIA.
Tats Colony <mbraces nearly one-third of the Australian Continent, comprising all that portion
weatward of 129° E. longitude, and is the nearest of the Australasian groups to England, from
which it is distant 10,950 miles. Its area is over a million squese miles, or about eight times
that of the United Kingdom. It possesses a population of about 35,000, principally located
within 100 miles of the sea cost.
Western Australia is a Crown Colony, the Government being administered by a Governor
appointed by the Colonial Office, and assisted by Executive and Legislative Councils, the
Legislative Council consisting of the members of the Executive Council, with the exception of
the Colonial Treasurer, four nominees of the Governor, and sixteen elected members.
The climate is one of the most salubrious and enjoyable in the world, Even in the tropical
northern districts the heats are counterbalanced by nocturnal] sea breezes. The annual
average death-rate from 1865 to 1882 was 15°13 per thousand, while that of Great Britain for
the same period was 21°55. The mesr annual rainfall at Perth is 32°73 inches for the past
nine years, and the mean temperature 65° Fahrenheit. On the whole, the meteorological
conditions have been compared with those of the south of Europe.
The chief products are wool, timber, pearls and pearl-shells, lead, copper, horses, &c. The
export of wool for 1885 was estimated at £248,400; that of timber at £67,650, and £36,216
for sandalwood; pearls and pearl-shells, £58,496; lead ore, £8255; copper ore, £1792;
horses, £10,475. ‘The returns of stock in the Colony showed—horses, 34,392; cattle, 70,408;
sheep, 1,702,719; goats, 4529; pigs, 24,200, Cereals, grapes, oranges, lemons, and other fruits
grow abundantly. The vine grows luxuriantly in the southern portions of the Colony, and as
population increases, there will in all probability be a large export of wine, raisins, &c. There
are 687 acres of vineyards in the Colony. Altogether at present 77,728 acres of land are under
cultivation, the yield per acre for 1885 being,—wheat 114 bushels, barley 144 bushels, oats
14} bushels, maize 12} bushels, hay 1 ton, potatoes 2} tons. Horses, bullocks, and sheep are
exported to Singapore. Among the timber trees are the sandalwood, occupying large forests in
the southern districts; jarrah, extending over some 14,000 miles, and largely exported to India,
South Australia, and New Zealand, recently aleo to England ; karri, white gum, &c. Gold has
been recently discovered in the Kimberley District in the extreme north. Copper and lead
mines have been worked for some years in the Champion Bay District.
The pringipal towns in the Colony and tue number of their inhabitants are—Perth, about
7000; Freemantle, about 5000; Albany, about 1000: Geraldton, about 1000; York, about 800;
Bunbury, about 600; Guildford, about 600. About one-third of the entire population of the
Colony is therefore located in Perth and Fremantle. There are smaller townships scattered
throughout the Colony, viz., Northampton, Busselton, Bridgetown, Pinjarra, Beverley, Northam,
Newcastle, Gingin, Chidlow's Well, Carnarvon, Cossack, Roebourne, Derby, Kojonup, Moorum-
bine, Rockingham, &c., &c.
Perth, the capital of the Colony, is beautifully situated on the right bank of the Swan River
estuary, 12 miles from Fremantle, where the river debouches into the sea. A railway connects
Perth with Fremantle, the port, and York in the interior, a total length of 90 miles.
Government Schools exist all over the Colony, and are managed by tho District Boards,
Asaisted echools, by different denominations, having grants-in-aid trom Colonial fands, as
well as a school in Perth for the higher education of boys. The amount expended on Education
for 1885 was £10,244. There is a High School for girls, under the direction of the Anglican
Bishop, and another conducted by the Sisters of Mercy, both situated in Perth.

62. WESTERN AUSTRALIAN
MANUFACTURING CO., Limited,
Perth.—(62) A Trophy of Timber, com-
posed of Jarrah (Hucalyptus marginata). This
Eucalypt extends over the greater portion of
the country from the Moor River to King
George’s Sound, advancing also to Cape Lewin, J
forming mainly the forests of these tracks.
The tree occasionally exceeds 100 ft. in height,
but rarely -150 ft. The wood has obtained
a world wide celebrity; when especially
selected from hilly localities, cut while the
sap is least active, and subsequently carefully
dried, it proves impervious to the borings of the
Chelure, Teredo, and Termites; it is therefore
in extensive demand for jetties, piles, railway
sleepers, fence posts and all kinds of under-
ground work, and it is equally important as one
of the most, durable for the planking and
frames of ships. It is also much used for
flooring, rafters, spars and furniture. It is
remarkable for its non-inflammable character.

Owing to the ae ag of flowering trees

never at any time of the year in want of food,
and at the extraordinary rate they are increasing
there is every probability that ere very long

NEW ZEALAND.
New ZEALAND lies in the Pacific Ocean to the south-eastward of, and at least one thousand miles
from, Australia. The most northern part of New Zealand is in 34° 23’ South lat., and its most
southern is in 47° 19’ South lat. Extending through nearly thirteen degrees of latitude, its
length in a curved line through the centre of the country is more than 1,100 miles; its breadth
varies, but in the broadest part it is little more than 150 miles. Two islands, now best known as
the North and South Islands respectively, almost wholly constitute New Zealand; they are
separated by a navigable strait called Cook Strait, which in its narrowest part is 12 miles across,
and in its other parts varies from 50 to 100 miles. The total area of New Zealand is about one-
sixth less than that of Great Britain and Ireland. The area of South Island is about the same.as
that of England and Wales; and the North Island is about one-fourth less, The coast-line is
over 3,000 miles, and it is indented by numerous good harbours. This two-fold insular position,
and these other maritime features, are remarkable characteristics, specially adapted and materially
conducive to the future greatness of the country.
Captain Cook, in 1769, was, for all practical purposes, the first European discoverer of New
Zealand. The Maoris, its aboriginal inhabitants, were ut that time cannibals, almost wholly
ignorant of mechanical erts, practising a rude kind of agriculture, devoid of religious belief,
except confused notions of good and evil demons, and addicted to savage inter-tribal warfare.
Captain Cook planted in the country the firat germ of colonisation. He successfully introduced
the pig and the potato. For thirty-seven years after his last departure, in 1777, from New
Zealand, it was only known to the civilised world for the danger of its coasts, and for the ferocity
of its inhabitants. The first European residents there came in 1814 to the Bay of Islands, almost
the northern extremity of the North Island, as representatives of the English Church Missionary
Society. From that time, for several years, there was an irregular influx of traders, whalers,
runaway sailors, and adventurers, The state of the country at that time became worse than it
was before. Anarchy and moral contamination created a pandemonium. The British Govern-
ment felt itself forced to interfere. But the previous recognition by British authorities of what
was called the national independence of the Maori tribes, rondered the position one of great
difficulty. Other circumstances hastened the action of the British Government. France, it was
thought, was about to take possession of the Islands of New Zealand, and to make them probably
a penal station. The New Zealand Company, an English associatiou, formed with the object of
systematic colonisation, was taking practical steps to give effect to its object in New Zealand. The
result was that the British Government negotiated with various native chiefs for a cession of their
(so-called) sovereignty, and, on obtaining that cession, assumed complete possession of New Zealand.
Then, from time to time, various unconnected centres of settlement were formed. Auckland,
in the northern part of the North Island, was established by the first Governor, Captain Hobson,
R.N., in 1840. Wellington, in the southern extremity of the same island, was founded in the
same year by the New Zealand Company. New Plymouth, on the west coast of the North
Island, and Nelson, in the north of the South, or Middle Island, were founded by the same Company
in the following year, 1841. In 1848, Otago was founded in the southern part of the South
Island by a Scotch Association; and in 1850, Canterbury, in the central part of the east coast of
the South Island, was founded by a Church of England Association. The Constitution, which
was in force in those early days, was that of Crown Colonics. The Governor, except in so far as
he was controlled by the Imperial Government, was almost despotic. In 1847, the Imperial
Government, however, issued a new charter, making a material change in the constitution of the
Colony. The chief features were the division of the Colony into two provinces, the appointment
of Lieutenant-Governors, the granting of Provincial Representation, the appointment of a
Governor-in-Chief, and the creation of a Colonial Parliament with a Representative Chamber.
Before, however, this charter could take effect, the greater part of it was suspended; and in 1853,
before the suspension ended, a new Constitution, granted in the previous year by the Imperial
Parliament, came into force. That Constitution was based on the popular principle, and was ag
free as any Colonial Constitution in the British Dominions. The Governor, a Legislative Council
composed of members nominated by the Crown for life, and a House of Representatives elected by
the people on a liberal franchise, constituted the Colonial Legislature. The Colony was firat
“a DS ne SEE NR IPO EE Se
sae ST
270 | New Zealand,
divided into six provinces, each of which was allowed to have an elective Superintendent and an
elective Provincial Council. In 1875, however, a Colonial Act was passed abolishing the whole
provincial system; and in the following year another Act waa passed making provision for the
division of the Colony into counties, and for machinery for their local self-government. The
provincial system was thus eliminated from the general scheme of the Constitution of New Zealand ;
but that scheme, so far as it relates to the general government of the Colony, still conforms to the
leading lines as originally drawn. The whole tendency of the Imperial authorities has been, for
the last thirty years, to give the Colony absolute self-government in its domestic matters. The
control of native affairs, and the entire responsibility of dealing with them, were transferred in
1868 from the Imperial to the Colonial Government; and the usage of responsible government, on
the English model, is in full force.
‘The following traditional account of the origin of the native race is from the pen of the
late Sir Donald McLean, once Native Minister, one of the best authorities on the subject :—
“There is not any record as to the origin of the Maori race. Its arrival in New Zealand is,
according to tradition, due to an event which, from its physical possibility, and from the
concurrent testimony of the various tribes, is probably true in its main facts.
“The tradition runs that, generations ago, a large migration took place from an island in
the Pacific Ocean, to which the Maoris give the name of Hawaiki, quarrels amongst the
natives having driven from it a chief whose canoe arrived upon the shores of New Zealand.
Returning to his home with a flattering description of the country he had discovered, this chief,
it is said, set on foot a scheme of emigration; and a fleet of large double-canoes started for the
new land. The names of the canoes are still remembered; and it is related that the immigrants
brought with them the kumen, the taro, seeds of the karaka tree, dogs, parrots, the pukeko, or
red-billed swamp hen, &. Strong evidence that there is truth in this reported exodus is
supplied by the facts that each tribe agrees in its account of the doings of the principal
* canoes ’—that is, of the people who came in them—after their arrival in New Zealand; and
that there is also agreement in tracing from each ‘canoe’ the descent of the numerous tribes
which have spread over the islands. Calculations, based on the genealogical sticks kept by the
tohungas, or priests, have been made that about twenty generations have passed since this mi-
gration, which would indicate the date to be about the beginning of the fifteenth century. The
position of Hawaiki is not known, but :here are several islands of a somewhat similar name.”
The natives were naturally warlike. Their inter-tribal wars, before Europeans came into
the country, were incessant; and their customs in warfare were savage and ferocious. Cannibalism
was common. But, as a race, they had intellectual qualities, and their minds were receptive and
capable of expansion. The first missionary, the Rev. Samuel Marsden, Colonial Chaplain to the
Government of New South Wales, landed with some companions at the Bay of Islands, in New
Zealand, in 1814, and commenced mission work. Subsequently, Protestant and Roman Catholic
Missions were established throughout the country, and, in the course of thirty or forty years,
they effected a religious conversion of almost the whole race. The conversion was, no doubt, to
a considerable extent, nominal, but the moral and social reform‘effected was real and national. In
1874, there was a serious relapse from Christianity among the Maoris. A new religion, called
Hau-hau (from the sound of a frequent ejaculation in their prayers), sprung up, and was 4
mixture of old superstitions with a perversion of the Old Testament. It was accepted asa
national faith by the tribes in rebellion against the British Sovereignty ; but it almost wholly
subsided when the rebellion came to an end. Physically, the natives are middle-sized and well-
formed. The skin is of an olive-brown colour, and the hair is generally black. Their voices are
pleasant, and, when not under warlike excitement, their gestures are graceful and dignified.
They possess wonderful memories, and are natural orators. They have always recognized among
themselves tribal tenure of land; and each tribe holds communally, among its various sections,
lands, forests, cultivations, and fisheries, the respective boundaries of which are well known
among the tribes generally.
The geographical position and physical features of the islands produce great variety and
remarkable salubrity of climate, resembling that of Great Britain, but with a drier and more
elastic atmosphere, and the extremes of daily temperature only vary throughout the year by
an average of 20°, whilst London is 7° colder than the North, and 4° colder than the Suuth
Island of New Zealand. The mean annnal temperature of the different seasons for the whole
Colony is, in spring 55°, in summer 63°, in autumn 57°, and in winter 48°.

By the proper selection of soil, and with a system of agriculture modified to suit the great
variety of climate which necessarily prevails in a country extending over 12° of temperate lati-
tude, every variety of cereal and root crop may be successfully raised. The progress made in
agriculture has been very rapid, and the number of peraons engaged in this pursuit is, as
compared with other countries, very large, more than one in every five of the adult male population
being in this way possessed of a permanent stake in the country.
Wool is undoubtedly the most important production of New Zealand, its value in export
spproaching nearly treble that of gold. The soil and climate of New Zealand are very suitable
for the long-woolled sheep of Great Britain who improve by the change; the length of the wool
is increased, and all its valuable properties preserved, owing doubtless to the genial climate
and absence of exposure to the extremes of an English temperature,
The early attempts to apply the freezing process for the carriage of fresh meat from South
America and Australia by using ice, or freezing mixtures of ice and salt, failed ; but now the difficulties
areovercome. Carcases of sheep are now frozen to stony hardness immediately they are slaughtered
in New Zealand, and then carried to the ship, and there stowed in refrigerated chambers, and thus
brought to England in the same state of stony hardness as that originally produced. The appre-
ciation of New Zealand frozen meat in England is steadily advancing, and the increasing facilities
for ite distribution in town and country, bring it to the doors of a very large number of consumers.
The establishment of Dairy Factories throughout the Colony is remarkably increasing, and
there is a large manufacture of cheese. Biscuits, soap, leather, breweries, bootmaking, and
woollen manufacture are also established industries. There were, in 1881, when the last census
was taken, 99 breweries, employing about 600 men, and producing about 5,000,000 gallons of
beer. The boot factories during the same year numbered 31, employing about 1,300 hands;
and produced 280,000 pairs of boots and shoes. Six mills for woollen manufacture are now in
operation, and the amount of wool manufactured in 1884 was about 1,600,000 lbs. Other woollen
factories arefabout to start, two being near completion. The building of carriages and other
vehicles, shipbuilding, the manufacture of agricultural implements, and works for machinery
and manufacturing requisites, are considerable industries. Eighty-three registered steamers
have beer built in the Colony, and, with few exceptions, their engines were alao made there.
Right iron steam dredgers, the largest being 70-horse power, and heavy cranes, one being a
40-ton travelling jib-crane, have been wholly built} by local hands, In brass and copper works
New Zealand took all the principal prizes at the Sydney and Melbourne Exhibitions. Some
of the small industries of the Colony may be mentioned; they are, manufacture of tobacco and
cigars, blacking, confectionery, paper, aerated waters, jam, essences, perfumery, and writing ink.
There are two paper mille producing brown and wrapping papers, and some printing paper.
There is abundant supply of water everywhere obtainable. Probably there is no single
spot in either island ten miles from a permanent water supply, and the places where the distance
is even half as much are few and far between. Bothas regards agriculture and manufactures the
importance of this supply cannot be overrated.
Gold-mining is still in its infancy, and only awaits the judicious application of capital for its
development to a vast extent. Alluvial mining is carried over an area of about 20,000 square
miles; and that kind which is carried on in thick deposits of gravel, by means of water-runs and
engineering works, is likely to give the means of profitable employment to many persons for
some time to come.
New Zealand is peculiarly situated in reference to coal; there is hardly a district in the
Colony which has not brown coal. Indeed, beginning at the ranges West of Christchurch, and
going to the Bluff, you can scarcely travel twenty miles without finding a brown coal mine. In
the district of Auckland, from the Bay of Islands down to the Waikato, there are large deposits of
brown coal. The produce of the coal mines in 1864 was approximately 10,000 tons, but it has
mounted up to 480,831 tons in 1884. On the West Coast of theSouth or Middle Island, there are
enormous deposits of carboniferous land, with seams of more than twenty feet in depth, of the
finest steam coal in the world. There is also magnificent gas coal at Greymouth. The area of
the coalfields of Westport and Grey may be said to amount to 129,000 acres. The improvements
now in progress for affording increased railway transport and shipping facilities, will so stimulate
this industry that the output will suffice not only fora fair portion of home consumption, but also
for a greatly increased foreign trade. Almost every known variety of iron ore has been discovered in
New Zealand. Various metallic ores are found, some of which are more or less worked.
272 New Zealand.
nr nr rr rr cer re,
mineral oils have been also discovered. Abundant supplies of excellent stone for building purposes
and for roads are found in every part of the Colony. Natural cement stones are found quite equal in
quality to those which are burnt for the manufacture of hydraulic cement in Europe. The
materials for brickmaking are plentiful throughout the Colony. The clays are admirably adapted
for the manufacture of the best kinds, and bricks may be made equal to any of British manu-
facture. The success of pottery works that have been established has proved the adaptability
of the fire clays and pottery clays of the Colony for the best kinds of fire-bricks, drain-pipen,
chimney-pots, tiles, and all kinds of pottery, porcelain, and terra-cotta gouds.
Until the systematic colonisation of the Islands, New Zealand was very destitute of terrestrial
or animal life suitable tw the wants of civilised man, the only animals being a small rat, a dog
(which had probably been introduced since the Islands were peopled by the present race), and
pigs, the produce of some animals left by Captain Cook and the navigators that succeeded him;
through the agencies of early missionaries, and by whaling ships many useful animals and plants
were then introduced. In more recent years all kinds of domestic animals, many-.of very high
quality, have been imported, including valuable breeds of sheep and the American llama,
Domestic poultry of almost every species have also been introduced, and many species of game
(such as hares, pheasants, partridges, black-game, red grouse, quail, &c.), and a host of the
smaller birds of Europe and other countries have been spread throughout the Islands. The
rivers also of New Zealand, which formerly produced only the eel and a few small salmonoid fishes
of little value, are gradually being stocked with salmon and trout, both European and American,
while perch, tench, and carp have also been satisfactorily acclimatised.
The New Zealand sea-water fish, on the whole, resemble those which are found on the coast
between Madeira and the Bay of Biscay more than those that are caught about the north of
Scotland. Their useful variety bears favourable comparison with fish in British seas. In the
latter, out of 208 kinds, only 40 are considered marketable; while in New Zealand it is already
known that, out of 192 sea fishes, there are nearly as many varieties used for food as are brought
to market in the British Islands.
The total area of New Zealand is upwards of sixty-six million acres. Of this, eighteon
millions have been sold, or disposed of in education and other public reserves; fourteen millions
belong to the Aborigines or to the Europeans who have purchased from them, and thirty-four
millions of Crown Lands still remain for disposal. Of the latter, fifteen millions are open grass or i
fern country, ten millions forest, and nine millions of mountain tops, lakes, and worthless country,
The Crown Lands are administered under the authority of “The Land Act, 1885.”
For convenience the Colony is divided into ten land Districts, each being under the local
direction of a Commissioner and a Land Board. The Commissioner's office is known as the
principal land office. In each district there is a principal land office, and in some of the large
districts one or more sub-offices. It is with these land offices the selector has to transact all
business, from the first consultation of the maps, the subsequent selection and purchase of land,
to the final receipt of the Crown grant. Crown Lands are divided into three classes, namely,
Town and Village landa, Suburban land, and Rural land, Town and suburban lands are sold by
public auction, while in respect to rural lands provision is made for their disposal in various ways
so as to meet the requirements and resources of those who desire to become settlers. Under the
Homestead system a limited acreage of land can be obtained without payment, but subject to
conditions of occupation and improvement. Under the Deferred Payment system, the payment
for land is made by instalments spread over e period of ten years, it being, however, necessary
for the settler to reside on the land and to fulfil certain conditions of cultivation and improvement,
Then again Crown Lands can be leased with perpetual right of renewal, thus securing to lessees
the value of their improvements without requiring to sink any capital in the purchase of the land,
Small grazing runs of not more than 5,000 acres are also put aside and let by public auction,
the upset rent ranging from 14d. to 1s. per acre, subject to conditions of occupation, improvement,
and to right of renewal at the end of the twenty-one years’ lease.
The system of land transfer, which is well known in the Australasian colonies as the
Torrens’ system, was established in New Zealand in 1870, The general effect of the aystem is
to enable persons, acquiring possession of land by transfer, inheritance or other means, to receive
a title thereto direct from the Crown, All lands alienated before the system was established
can be brought under it, provided there is a clear title to it. The system further greatly
facilitates the transfer at any time of land once brought under it,

FIJI.
Tue Colony of Fiji is a group of islands in the South Pacific numbering over 200, of which 80
are inhabited, 1,900 miles from Sydney, and 1,200 miles from Auckland, They are distant from
Samoa 500 miles south-west, from Tonga 800 miles north-east, and from New Caledonia 500
miles east,
The principal island is named Viti Levu, and is equal in size to the collective areas of Ken
Sussex, Surrey and Middlesex. This one island is also nearly as large as Jamaica, twice as large
as Trinidad, and six times as large as Mauritius, while the aggregate area of the whole Colony ig
greater than all the British West India Islands, including Trinidad.
The total area is 4,751,860 acres, and it is therefore larger thun Wales.
Government.—Orown Colony of a severe type, Governor advised by Executive Council
consisting of four members, heads of departments, There is also a Legislative Council, consisting
of the Governor as President, the Chief Justice, and five other heads of departments as official
Members, and of six unofficial Members nominated by the Governor and appointed by the Queen
for life, .
Climate is considered good for the tropics; heat rarely exceeds 90° in the shade, and
thermometer does not often go below 60°. Rainfall varics considerably in the different islands,
ranging from 40 inches to 180 inches per annum.
Settlers are scattered over many of the islands engaged in planting, stock-keeping, trading,
&e, Asarule they live comfortably in wooden houses, and possess abundance of poultry, pigs, fruit
and vegetables, while in some districts, fresh beef and mutton is obtained weekly. In Suva and
Levuka people can live in any style they like to pay for, and participate to some extent in the
pleasures of society in which settlers’ wives are glad to join when they leave their district homes
for a change to either of these two pretty towns. There are over 3,000 Europeans in the Colony,
Natives.—There are about 115,000 natives who are physically and mentally superior to most
coloured races, They are a reddish-brown in complexion, of a free and easy disposition, and
view life with a calm philosophy, worthy of imitation by many Europeans, They do not much
care about work, because nature supplies nearly all their wants.
Labour.—Calcutta Coolies, Polynesians and Fijians are employed. The two former classes
cost about 1s. 6d. each daily, this amount includes wages, passage-money, allowances for food
and clothing, houses, hospitals, sick percentage, medicines and incidentals, Fijians are
cheaper. :
Products.—Sugar is the principal product. 10,586 tons exported last year; the yield is
good, the density of juice up to average, the best machinery is at work, and the largest mill in
the world is on the Rewa River, Viti Levu '
Cokonuts are exported in large quantities, but the majority are used for making Copra (the
i dried kernel used for oil) and fibre, They thrive well, and give a good and tolerably safe return
on capital judiciously expended. Exports value, 1884: Cokonuts, £2,219; Copra, £59,241;
Fibre, £1,031.
Cotton.—This industry, once the largest and most profitable, is now being given up, owing to
low price obtained. Certain parts of the Colony are remarkably well suited for the “long
stapled” fine qualities. Export value, 1884, £14,121,
Fruit.—Bananas and pineapples were exported to the value of £23,994 last year. This
trade might be greatly supplemented by oranges, lemons, mangoes, and preserved fruits,
Molasses exported to value of £7,186, Present prices so low that much is run to waste,
Cafes haw not proved the success anticipated, No reason has yet heen found to account fay
the nonsproduotivencsa of tho tree,
U

Fiji.
Tea, Cinchona, and Cardamoms have been recently tried, and may prove remunerative. The
former, Tea, has received high praise from experts in Australia, New Zealand, and London, and
it may in a few years surpass in value the export of sugar. MA
Tobacco is only grown to » small extent, but the quality produced favours the idea of a large . Auger,
inorease, should experienced men undertake its culture, Sod i
Sheep, cattle, horses and gonts breed and thrive well, while poultry, pigs and fruit aro very WI
abundant throughout the islands,
From the above it will be seen that the Colony is eminently agricultural, and that its natural
resources, general climate and prolific soil well fit it to be a pleasant resort for young England, 00.—
and point to its becoming the future West Indies of the Austrelasian Colonies. RO:

not have been large. At present the exports of colonial produce extend over a considerable thei
variety of articles, and include aloes, argol, bones, buchu leaves, coffee, copper ore, ostrich ae.
feathers, dried fruits, guano, Angora hair, hides, horns, skins, tobacco, wine, and wool, as well 3 Ck
as diamonds, of which special mention will be found hereafter. a eae.
In 1875, when the last census was taken, there were nearly seventy million vines planted, Fields)
yielding four and a-half million gallons of wine and over one million gallons of brandy ; 1,688,000 compat
bushels of wheat, nearly half a million bushels of barley, quarter of a million bushels of rye, one earning
million bushels of oats and the same of oat-huy ; over three million lbs. of tobacco, two and a-half capital
million lbs. of dried fruits, and 340,000 lbs. of aloes were produced. Indian corn and millet per an.
were also very largely raised. At the same period the Colony possessed nearly ten million and fou
woolled sheep, 22,000 ostriches, 878,000 Angora goats, and 1,112,000 horned cattle. Mohair
first appears as an article of export in 1872, the quantity shipped being 1,036 lbs. In 1884 Tr Th
four and a-half millions lbs. were exported. In 1857 the value of feathers exported was less than OWE
£10,000. In 1884 the export had risen to £966,480 in value. In 1830 the total shipment of psy o!
wool wus only 83,000 lbs,; in 1872 it reached the total of forty-nine million lbs., since which he re
time it has fallen off owing chiefly to loss of stock from [severe droughts. The total value eae
oO
of this export in 1884 was £1,745,000. In 1884 the value of copper ore exported was about
£406,000., and of diamonds £2,807,329. In 1868 the declared value of diamonds exported was
£150,
Its Trade.—The external trade of the Colony is carried on chiefly with the mother country,
avd chiefly in British and colonial vessels, as will be seen from the following figures :—

been shown.
Its Public Works.—To revert to the subject of the progress of tle Cape Colony during the
last quarter of a century, it will be seen in nothing so much as in the development of its
railways, telegraphs, harbour and other public works. Its first railway, the line from Cape
Town to Wellington, 58 miles in length, was commenced in 1860 and completed and opened in
November, 1868. It was constructed by a private company, but was almost immediately
purchased by the Government for £773,000.
The Colony now has 1,608 miles of railway open to traffic, and the total amount spent upon
their construction and equipment is about £14,600,000, These railways start from three several
points on the coast, viz.:—Oape Town, Port Elizabeth, and East London, and the systems
having their termini at the two former ports are connected by a junction line. ‘There is now
direct railway communication between Cape Town, Port Elizabeth, and Kimberley (the Diamond
Tields). In addition to the mileage above mentioned, there is a line constructed by a private
company connecting Port Alfred and Grahamstown, a distance of 43 miles. In 1884 the net
earnings on the 1,344 miles of railway then open, amounted to £327,462, yielding an interest on
capital expended of £2 14s. 1d. per centum, Later returns (1885) show a profit of 3} per cent.
per annum. Two million four hundred and seven thousand passengers were carried in 1884,
and four hundred and thirteen thousand tons of goods,
The first telegraph line constructed in the Colony (in 1860) was from Cape Town to Simon's
Town, a distance of 22 miles, The Colony now has 4,219 miles of telegraph open, carrying 8,663
miles of wire, at a total cost of £351,007. The number of messages carned in 1884 was 740,791.
The revenue was £78,629, the expenditure £53,708, the net earnings £24,926, yielding o
percentage of £7 2s. on capital invested. The present tariff is a uniform rate of 1s. for 10 words
to all offices in South Africa.
The Colony has telegraphic communication with England by submarine cable vid Zanzibar
and Aden, which was opened on Christmas Day, 1879, and which is subsidized by the Home
end Colonial Governments, the contribution of Cape Colony being £15,000 per annum.
The Colony unfortunately possesses no natural harbours, and to supply this deficiency has
executed works on an extensive scule at the principal ports of the Colony, the amounts expended
upon each up to the close of 1884 being as follows :—
Table Bay Harbour ; . ‘ . £978,484
Port Elizabeth ,, ; . ; 437,431
Mossel Bay r ° : ; ‘ 8,000
Port Alfred mY ‘ ° ‘ 219,688
East London ,, : . . 502,189
Total i" e » £2,145,792
es
The works at Table Bay include an extensive breakwater 1,870 feet in length, an outer
basin six acres in extent, an inner basin or dock ten acres in extent, and a graving dock
420 feet long.
To facilitate communication and transport on the northern side of the Colony, four great
bridges have been erected at different points on the Orange River, and one over the Great Kei
River. ‘The cost of these works up to the close of 1884 amounted to £407,562, the net revenue
in tolls to £17,604, yielding a per centage on capital of £4 6s. 4d. The internal communications
of the Colony by means of roads and ordinary bridges have been carried out at a total cost, from
January 1860 to June 1885, of £1,100,989. Up to and including the year 1884 the total cost of
the public works above mentioned amounts to £18,605,350, on which there is a fair remunerative
return,

Its Industries.—Besides the raising of sheep and cattle and horses, and the cultivation of the
land, which are the staple industries of the Colony, and in which at the time of the last census
(1875) 210,000 of the population were engaged, there is the important industry of diamond
mining at Kimberley. Old de Beer’s, Du Toit’s Pan, and Bultfontein, employing in all about
10,400 persons, of whom 1,228 are white and the remainder coloured. Mining was commenced
in 1868, and the total declared and known value of diamonds exported from that time to the
close of 1884 was £31,772,476. It is well known, however, that the actual export is largely in
excess of the declared value. There are also smaller diggings at Barkly West, which in 1884
realised £51,480.
Copper mining is carried on in Namaqualand by the Cape Copper Mining Co., and tho
Namaqua Mining Co. The annual average produce is 21,000 tons, and 1800 persons are
employed. The ores are of very rich quality, after classification and dressing realising an average
say of about 32 per cent. Since 1852, when copper ore was first exported, to the end of 1884,
the total produce amounted to 268,215 tons, and in that period the annual export has increased
from 31 tons to 22,705 tons. Coal mining, which is of quite recent origin in the Colony, is now
carried on at the Cyphergat and Molteno Mines in the Albert Division, and the Indwe Mine
in the Wodehouse Division. The present annual produce is about 9000 tons, employing about
200 persons. The coalfields are of immense extent, and will ultimately prove of great value to
the Colony. ‘The eastern line of railways is now entirely supplied with coals from these mines:
and as soon as the remaining 150 miles or thereabouts of railway connecting all the seaports
with the coalfields shall have been constructed, ships of war and transports, as well as merchant
vessels, can be supplied with colonial coal and made independent of coal supplies from England.
On the ground of economy this will obviously be a great advantage, and politically—in the
event of war or accidental closing of the Suez Canal, a local coal supply will be of incalculable
importance to the defence and trade of the empire. There are also alum, lead, crocidolite,
Manganese, and saltpetve mines, several of which are being worked.
‘There are 17 fisheries at various points on the coast, employing 335 boats, and 1854 men, and
the value of the fish caught in 1884 at the 12 stations, from which returns were obtained
amounted to £89,563,
There are about 60 saltpans now being worked in the Colony, many of which are very exten-
sive. According to the returns obtained in 1884 from 26 of these pans the value produced was
about £30,000,
Amongst other industries there are in the Colony 89 aerated water manufactories, 129 boot
and shoe factories, 802 bread and biscuit factories, 130 brickworks, 87 confectionery and jam
factories, 22 cooperages, 129 iron and tin works, 74 printing works, 124 saddlery and harness
works, 17 tobacco factories, 301 waggon and cart works, 59 fish-curing establishments, 38 corn
and flour mills, 16 wool washerics, 9 of which are worked by steam, and employ about 250 hands
each, 9 boat building establishments, 7 tanneries, 7 breweries, and 12 distilleries.
Its Educational and Religious Provisions.—In 1884 the Colony had 5 colleges and 1004
schools of various classes. The number of college students was 815, The number of scholars
on the roll was 78,037. The Governmental expenditure for the year was £99,918, the Local
expenditure £101,644. In the same year there were in the Colony 453 ministers of the various
denominations, of whom 100 belonged to the Church of England, 99 to the Dutch Reformed
Church, and 97 to the Wesleyan Methodists, ‘I'he number of persons belonging to the several
congregations was 883,765, of whom 150,719 were coloured. The Government contribution to
the support of ministers was £11,990, the amount contributed by the: congregations for the
same purpose was £69,309, and for other purposes £97,231.
Its Hospitale—In 1884 the Colony had 74 hospitals and charitable institutions, the totel
number of patients treated being 7,060. Six of these received Government aid to the extent of
£7,478. The others are supported almost entirely by voluntary contributions,

Its Banks.—In 1884 there were 11 banks in the Colony, with an aggregate nominal capital
of £6,303,930 in 124,012 shares on which £1,649,745 had been paid up. At the same period
their aggregate reserve fund amounted to £611,703, and their circulation to £708,797. In the
same year the Colony had 112 Post Office Savings Banks with 17,886 depositors and £128,689
in deposits. The Cape of Good Hope Savings Bank Society had 232,834 depositors and
£528,781 in deposits. The Grahamstown Savings Bank had 1,578 depositors and £14,972 in
deposits, and the King William’s Town Savings Bank 1,125 depositors and £30,170 in deposite,

and present condition of the Colony. For further and more detailed information the reader

NATAL.
Tue Colony of Natal is situated on the eastern side of South Africa, 800 miles beyond the Cape
of Good Hope, and facing the Indian Ocean. It is included between the 29th and 32nd
parallels of south latitude, and has a sea coast about 180 miles long. It comprises within itself
' 24,000 square miles, or, in round numbers, 13,500,000 acres, of land, and is a little more than
one-third the size of England. A line stretching from the sea port to the northern extremity of
the Colony is 250 miles long. The Colony is roughly of a diamond shape, the north-western
frontier being formed by the Drakenberg Mountains, which constitute the edge of the central
tableland of Africa; the south-eastern frontier by the sea coast facing the Indian Ocean; the
north-eastern frontier by the River Tugela, which separates the Colony from Zululand; the
south-western frontier by the Umtamvuma River, Adam Kok’s Land, Basuto Land, and the
Orange River Free State. The northern point of the Colony connects it with the Transvaal
District
The Colony lies well within the temperate zone, its extreme northern point being still
220 miles outside of the southern tropic. The extreme southern point of the Colony is 1100 miles
nearer to the tropic, than the Lands End of England.
The inland frontier of the Colony is formed by an escarpment of mountains constituting the
outer edge of the continental table-land, and running approximately paraiiel to the coast, and at
a distance of 150 miles from it. Ribs and corrugations of land descend sinuously from this
inland frontier to the sea, including broken and winding valleys between them. An elevated
hog’s back, in places 5000 fect high, crosses the central part of the Colony from the projecting
point of the mountain frontier, and about 70 miles from the sea, forming a river basin towards the
north, which is drained into a single river system, terminating in the river Tugela, and fed by its
affluents, the Buffalo River, Sunday River, Klip River, main source of the Tugela, Bushman’s
River, and Mooi River. ‘The rest of the Colony is drained by rivers of varying extents, which all
descend by separate mouths to the sea, the 180 miles of sea coast being thus one fringe of not
less than 66 rivers, large and small; all that portion of the Colony which lies to the north-west of
the great central elevation may be thus spoken of as the region of the convergent single-river
water-shed, whilst that which lies to the south-east of the central elevation constitutes the
divergent water-shed of many rivers, In advancing from the port directly inland through the
midst of the Colony, the main road climbs until it passes the crest of tle central upland, at a
height of 5000 feet, 70 miles from the sca, passing the capital city of Pietermaritzburg by the
way, at a height of a little more than 2000 feet, 56 miles from the sea, It then, after traversing
the summit of the upland, dips into the Tugela basin by a few hundred feet of descent, not again
to reach as high an.elevation until it finally surmounts the inland frontier at the Drakensberg.
The immediate consequence of this configuration of the land is that the Colony possesses a very
wide range of climate varying from the almost tropical district of the immediate coast to the far
more temperate région of the hills. These physical features are all illustrated in the large map
of the Colony—Map I.
The predominant direction of the wind is off the sea, the air flowing in and up the slope of
the land, abundantly laden with moisture. The rainfall is thus abundant, amounting to some-
thing in excess of 80 inches in the course of the year. The large chart, Map No. 4, shows, by the
course of the transverse across the perpendicular lines, which represent inches of rainfall, that
during the eight years running from 1858 to 1865 the smallest annual fall at Pietermaritzburg,
which occurred in 1861, scarcely exceeded 22 inches, whilst the heaviest annual fall, which
occurred in 1864, amounted to a little more than 36 inches,
evenly distributed through the several seasons of the year. It is comparatively heavy in the
This rainfall is not, however,

September; the large Map No. 5 illustrates this. ‘The transverse line, which crosses the
vertical lines that eprosent inches of rainfall marks a full in excess of three inches for each
month of January, February, March, April, October, November and December, and under one
inch for the months of May, June, and July. Four-fifths of tho rain falls during the six months
of greatest heat, and one-fifth during the six months of lowest temperature. The average rain-
fall during the two driest mid-winter months is only 0°38 of an inch; during tho four inter-
mediate months, it amounts to 4 inches; in each of the six wet months, the average amounts to
4 inches. The average fall for the six wet summer months for the period of eight years was, in
exact numbers, 23°87 inches. There are about 230 days in the year on which no rain falls, The
full‘on the coast districts is about half as heavy again‘as at Pietermaritzburg, 2000 feet above 'tho
sen. The summer in Natal is Gloudy and moist, and the winter sunny and dry. Thero ayo
commonly not more than twenty days of unbroken cloud during the six months of winter. Upon
the whole the country is well watered. Tho rivers never dry up; they run all the year round, but
are fuller in summer than in winter.
The temperature in Natal is very much moderate] by the abundance of cloud and tain in
the season of summer. The mean temperature of the yeur at Pietermaritzburg is 64°670;
the mean temperature of the summer 68:4, and the mean temperature of the winter about
59:4. In the large Map No. 6 the transverse line which runs across the ‘vertical lines that
represent the. months, and which ranges up and down over the horizontal lines that represent
degrees of temperature of Fahrenheit, gives the mean temperature for each of the twelve montlis
of the year, and shows that the mean temperature for February is 71°80, and the mean
‘temperature for Juno 55:19. The highest temperature at ‘Pietermaritzburg during cight years
was 97°6°, and that occurred during the prevalence of ‘a strong blast of ‘the hot-wind. The
mid-winter in Natal is very much like a fine June in England, excepting that the days are
shorter, and tho niglits more cold. ‘There are rarely more than eight days in the winter on
which the temperature does not rise to 60°, and rarely twenty nights on which it falls below
40°. During the period of cight years close observation in Pietermaritzburg, already alluded
to, the temperature only touched frost at night five times. There are not more tlian fifty
days on the average in which the temperature at Pietermaritzburg rises above 84°, and not more
than twelve days on wliich it rises above 90°. There are about 200 nights in the year on which
it falls to 60°. A dry hot land wind blows at Pietermaritzburg tor 2 few hours about twenty-
tive times in the year, and it is only during its prevalence that the air-temperature rises
above 86°. The mean temperature of the summer is 69°, and that of the winter 60° The
const district is about 34 degrees warmer on the average than Pietermaritzburg. The sun is
less scorching there at midday, but the nights are considerably warmer. Map 8 indicates by
its transverse tracing the number of times in which hot winds blow and in which thunder-
storms occur in the several months of the year. Thunderstorms are frequent and severe,
during the summer scagon.
At tlie elevation of Pietermaritzburg, a little more than 2000 feet above the ‘sea, the pine
apple, the banana, and the sugar-cane ure not found. But the orange ripens in the open ait
in suitable soils, and the gardens are gay through the season of mid-winter with the briglit
flowers of the oleander, the brugmansia, the ipomea, the passion flower; and the night
blowing cereus; the apple, the peach, the loquat and the granadilla, flourish side by side in the
fruit-bearing season. The vine grows readily, but needs special care on account of the wetness
of its season of ripening; the coffee bears abundant crops of berries even at this altitude; and
the cotton plant thrives; the mulberry in every variety grows with the utmost luxuriance, the
white mulberry being almost »s common asa weed. ‘The blue gums and mimosas of Australia
have naturalized themselves upon the soil. Maize is ‘a etaple production ‘at all elevations, and is
grown remuneratively under the rudest cultivation.
Natal was first occupied as a British possession in 1843, Its population now amounts to
85,000 Europeans, 27,000 Indian coolics, and 361,000 Zulu-Kafirs. Sugar is grown along the |
coast; it was introduced into the Colony 1851. About 29,000 ncres of land are under sugar at
the present time, and the annual produce amounts to 18,000 tons. Coffee was first planted in
1862; nearly 5000 acres of land have been under coffee ; the crop in 1884 was 100 tons, ‘Tea
was first planted as recently as 1877, and about 400 acres of tea plantation are under cultivation

samples are shown in the Exhibition. 355,000 lbs. of tobaccu were grown in 1884, and chiefly
consumed by tho natives and Indian coolfes. 109°tons of arrowroot, and £600’worth of cayenno
pepper were exported last year. Considerable attention is being given ‘to ‘the production of
hemp, China grass, and New Zealand flax. In 1884 nearly one million muids (sacks of 3 bushels
each) of maize, technically known as mealics, were harvested. Wheat is grown.on the upland
farms, but chiefly for local consumption. Oats are produced everywhere, but are almost entirely
used as green forage. Tho value of preserved fruit exported last year was £2,583, There are at
the present time 575,678 oxen, 43,431 horses, and 522,283 merino sheep on the pastures of the
Colony. ‘The produce of wool in the Colohy was estimated in 1884 at 1,376,000 1bs,; but the
export of wool, including tho yield of the districts beyond tho inland frontier of ‘the Colony,
was in excess of 17,000,000 lbs. ‘The valuo of the mohair raised in the Colony last year was
£13,500, The butter produced in the Colony in 1884 was estimated at 321,585 lbs. ; the cheeso
at 9,664 lbs.; and the bacon at 477,884 lbs.
Rice, ginger, turmeric, indigo, cochineal, silk, ground nut, sunflower seed, castor oil, and
aloes arc produced on a small scale,
The timber-yielding plants of Natal are of great interest and value; the most important
among them are—the yellow wood, a species of yew; the sneeze wood, belonging to the horse-
chestnut family ; the stink wood, a species of laurel; the black iron wood, a very hard olive; the
white iron wood, a species of rue; and the essen wood, the South African ash. It was recently
estimated that there were 133,000 acres of heavy timber forest belonging to private owners, and
32,000 acres belonging to the Crown; and 1,645,000 acres of thorn jungle belonging to private
owners, and 196,900 acres belonging to the Crown.
‘The value of imports for Natal in 1865 was £1,518,000, and the valuc of exports £877,000.
The Government Revenue in 1864-was £609,000, and the expenditure £746,000; of the expen-
diture £97,000 was interest ond sinking fund on loans, and £39,000 for works under Public
Works Loan.
The railway from Durban to Pietermaritzburg was opened in 1880. There are, at the present
time 178 miles of railway in operation in the Colony, all the property of, and worked by, the
Colonial Government. The Ladysmith extension is open to Estcourt, 145 miles from Durban.
The remaining 42 miles to Ladysmith is expected to be complete within the present year.
The ships which entered the harbour of Durban, the only serviceable port of the Colony,
.amounted in 1885 to
154 Steam vessels of . 164,697 tons.
152 Sailing vesselsof. . 45,024 ,,
6 Men of War 12,703 ,,
The harbour at present has a changing and shifting bar at its mouth, but works are in
progress connected with the entrance of the harbour which it is expected will ultimately make
it accessible to vessels of the deepest draught by day or by night, at all times of the tide, and in
all states of the weather.
Coal occurs in considerable abundance in the Klip River county of serviceable quality, most
of it being fit for house conl, and some of it for steam purposes and for the making of gas. The
area of the coal field suitable for working is estimated at 1850 square miles, and it is considered
that this area most probably contains not less than 2,073,000,000 tons of serviceable coal.

My Dear Srr,—Allow me to express my sincere thanks for the skill and
attention displayed in the construction of my Artificial Teeth, which render my
mastication and articulation excellent. I am glad to hear that you have obtained
Her Majesty’s Royal Letters Patent to protect what I consider the perfection of
Painless Dentistry. In recognition of your valuable services you are at
liberty to use my name.

This is to certify :—That I have analysed the Prize Medal Teeth submitted to
me, and find them to be composed only of minerals of extreme purity. I have
also examined and tested your patented painless system of adjustment. It is
quite perfect, and is the most successful application of scientific laws for
securing actual wear and comfort yet introduced. Both physically and
anatomically, they are a beautiful resemblance to the natural teeth.

By Lirvt.-Cotonet E. Parmer, late R.A.
Pars ‘small ‘dependency of the British Empire, formerly ‘so well known as a place of refreshment
for homeward bound East Inidiamen, and from being the scene of the captivity of the Emperor *
Napoleon, has lost much ‘of its ‘commercial importance since the opening of the Suez Canal.
Its situation, however, with regard to the African Continent’ seems to point at no distant period
to the advantages it offers, not only -as’a base of operations for missionary and commercial
enterprise, but asa health resort for the Europeans employed in the factories en the Congo,
for which last-named purpose it is admirably fitted, both from enjoying a remarkably fine and
healtliy climate, and ‘being within four days’ steaming of Banana at the mouth of that river.
The ‘geographical position of the fsland is in latitude 15:56, longitude 5°42 W., 4,277
miles from ‘Plymouth, 1,160' from Cape Town, and 1,200 from the const of Africa. It is oblong
in form, its general direction N. i. to S. W., 10} miles in length, 6} in breadth, with an arca of
45 square miles, *- about one-third the size of the Isle of Wight.
Although within the Tropic of Oapricorn, the constant 8. E. trade wind “renders ‘the
climate mild and equable ; and being traversed by a mountainous range, varying from 2,700 feet
to 1,500 feet in height, any variety of climate may be obtained—from a maximum temperature
of 82° at James Town on the sea coast, to 74° at Longwood, 1,780 feet above the sea.
Since the discovery of the island by the Portuguese in 1502, it has undergone many
vicissitudes. Abandoned by that nation: about 1600, it became a bone of contention between
the Dutch and English, which finally resulted in the capture of the island by Sir Richard
Munden in 1673; it was then ‘granted by charter to the English East India Company, who
retained it until 1886, and subsequently trausferred it to the Crown for £100,000. The history
of the captivity of the Emperor Napoleon from 1815 to 1821 is too well known‘to ‘be dwelt
- upon here,
Captain Cavendishappearsto:have been the first Englishman who visited the island, where
he called to recruit his sickly crew when homeward bound in 1588, His account of the place is
very interesting ; he describes it as “ well planted with fraits and herbs, the hills abounding with
wild goats, pheasants, partridges and turkeys, with great store of swine.’ The narrative seems
fully borne out by the engravings in an old Dutch work of 1641 in the British Museum, in
which parties of Dutch seamen are depicted hunting goats and pigs, gathering lemons in a
fruitful orchard, and drawing their nets in a stream abounding with f sh.
The island is surrounded by. precipitous cliffs, broken here aad there by deep ravines,
affording in some places a precarious Ianding. The prospect from the sea is most desolate and
forbidding, far different from that presented to the early navigators, when forests of cbony
clothed its now barren and denuded heights.
James Town, the seat of government, with a population of 2,500, is situated in a valley on
the N. W. (leeward) side of the island, its main street, with its bright-looking houses and trees,
forming a pleasing contrast with the gloomy hills rising on either side. ‘Two.good roads lead up
these heights into the country, andthe barren outskirts of the island are soon exchanged for the
wooded hills and valleys of the interior, crowned with pina woods; the lofty peaks of the
main ridge, clothed with the luxuriant vegetation of the cabbage wood and tree fern, forming a
suitable background to the picture.
The present prospects of the island, owing to the falling off in the visits ofshipping, are
far from encouraging. Many of the farmers have emigrated to the Cape, andg‘elsewhere; and
nothing is more depressing than to see the country houses falling into decay, and the land over-
grown with briars. The terrible destruction caused through the introduction of the white ant
in 1840 in some Brazilian timber out of a broken-up slaver, inflicted a loss upon the Colony of
£70,000, from which it has scarcely recovered. Still, a better day may, be dawning for St.

Mr. Morris, in his report to the Colonial Office in 1884, enumerates what he considors
might be productive industries for the island, amongst others the cultivation of
The English Aloe, for its valuable fibre.
New Zealand Flax, do.,
Barbadoes Aloe,
Tobacco—Vanilla,
Guinea Grass,
with many fruits, especially the Spanish Olive, Pineapple, &c.
He also places great stress upon the fisheries, there being no doubt that “the expenditure of
a small capital on good boats and tackle, with hardy fishermen, would be attended with great
success.”—(Mellise.) There are cod banks close to the island, and no less than seventy-three
descriptions of fish are known to exist, many of a valuable nature (tunny, mackerel), and
easily caught, either at sea or off the rocks,
The great drawback to the prosperity of the island is doubtless the want of efficient and
organized labour. The “native,’’ whose wants are easily supplied by a meal of fish and rice, is
of a naturally indolent disposition, and not alive to the necessity of “working” for his daily
bread. It has occurred to the writer that were St. Helena garrisoned by a West Indian
regiment, a considerable portion of the men’s time might be devoted to the cultivation of the
Government lands, and the maintenance of the original forest, the disappearance of which is
gradually affecting the water supply of the island.

Its form resembles that of a leaf with its point to the East, it is 7} miles from E. to W.,

The, climate, ia the driest. and, most salubrious in the world, being tempered by the 8.E. trade

no doubt improve as the island becomes more wooded, there being at present sixteen small springs.
The, surface. of. Ascension is very rugged and barren, consisting of extinct craters and
lava streams in different stages of decomposition, with dark ravines filled with scoria and pumice
stone. The, highest, point is the Green Mountain, 2820 feet above the sea, the only spot of
cultivation in the island, rising “a graceful oasis amidst waste and desolation.” ‘To the north of
the, mountain is a, small spridg, discovered by Dampier in 1701, after his ship the Roebuck

of the year. This phenomenon prevails simultaneously, but in a less degree, at St. Helena and

$28 Tristan da,Cunha Group.
TRISTAN DA CUNHA GROUP.
This group of islands is in the South Atlantic 1800 miles 8. of St. Helena, and 1500 from
the Cape of Good Hope, being almost in a direct line between the latter and Cape Horn. They
occupy a triangular space of about 100 square miles, the Eastern and Western extremities being
Nightingale and Inaccessible Islands: Tristan da Cunha, in lat. 87°3 S., long, 12°19 W., forming
the N. point.
Tristan da Cunha, like the other Atlantic islands, is of volcanic origin; it was discovered
by da Cunha, a Portuguese admiral, in 1506; it is of ciroular outline, in the shape of a
truncated cone, rising to the height of 7640 feet above the sea, with an extinct crater at the
summit of the mountain.
The diameter is about seven miles; it is surrounded by inaccessible cliffs from 1000 to 2000
feet in height, the settlement “ Edinburgh” being on a grassy slope 2} miles long and 14 miles
wide, 200 feet above the sea, on the north side of the island.
The climate is mild and moist, but remarkably healthy, the mean temperature on the coast
from 82° to 43°, the summit of the mountain being covered with snow from June to December.
During this period of the year the weather is very uncertain, with heavy gales from N.E. to 8.W.
during August and September. Landing would be impracticable, were it not for a zone of kelp
which surrounds the island at a distance of one-third mile, and breaks the violence of the surf.
The island was occupied by a detachment of Artillery during the captivity of Napoleon at
St. Helena, and on their withdrawal in 1821, Corporal Glasse, an Artilleryman, with two seamen,
and four whaling men remained behind, and became the founders of the present settlement.
Tristan has been visited from time to time by H.M. ships. In 1867 H.R.H. the Duke of
Edinburgh, when Captain of the Galatea, conferred the designation of “Edinburgh” on the
settlement. H.M.S. Challenger surveyed the island in 1878, and made an interesting report on
the group. ;
The population of the colony in 1883 amounted to 93, and appeared well supplied, there
being a large number of cattle and sheep, with abundance of potatoes.
The colony has just sustained a severe loss of fifteen of this small community and a boat
(presented by H. M. Govt.), when endeavouring to assist a ship in distress (see Daily Telegraph,
19 April, 1886).
The mackerel, salmon and mullet are caught off the shores, and the neighbouring ocean is
frequented by the sperm, black and white whales.
The only tree on the island is a species of buckthorn, from 20 to 30 feet high, growing in
the mountain gorges. The wild rosemary (also found at St. Helena, Reunion and Mauritius), and
a long coarse grass (Spartaca Arundinacea), with some varieties of fern, abound.

Isa high mass of fock, with a table summit nearly square, with sides 2 miles in length. Tho
highest point, 1840 feet above the sea, is to the W. of the island.
The outward bound Indiaman Blenden Hall was wrecked here in 1821, and the crew and
passengers were rescued by Governor Glasse, and taken to Tristan da Cunha. Two German
officers, after surviving the campaign of 1870, were also wrecked in 1871, and suffered great
hardships until taken off by H.M.S. Challenger in 1873.
This island is a great resort of penguins and sea fowl.

The Veddahs are supposed to be a remnant of the aborigines of Ceylon, They have no
fzed habitations, roaming about the forests of the Southern and Eastern Provinces. Living in
caves and hollow, trees, their dialect is different from that of the Sinhalese, with whom they have
little intercourse,
The Maldive Archipelago—a group of Coral Islets sparsely inhabited by a race of Sinhalese
origin, speaking a broken dialect of Sinhalese—is tributary to Ceylon, to which the Sultan of the
Maldives, sends,an embassy, annually. These islands are difficult of access, and intercourse with
them is very limited. An interesting ethnoJogical collection from these islands has been pro-
ured for this Exhibition,
For a tropical country, Ceylon is decidedly healthy; from its insular position, the climate
contrasts favourably with that of India—there are no extremes of temperature, and throughout
he low country the thermometer varies little in the course of the year; the mean temperature
t Colombo is nearly 81° F. There is, however, considerable difference in the daily temperature
in the hill districts, The coolest. months are December and January; the hottest, March,
April, and May. fee,
Sir E. Tennent, who resided. in the island for some years as Lieut.-Governor and Colonial
ecretary, in his, interesting. and valuable work on the Colony, writes :—“ There is no island in
he world, Great, Britain itself, not excepted, that has attracted the attention of authors in so
many distant, ages and so many different countries as Ceylon, there is no nation in ancient or
modern times pogsesged of, a language or literature the writers of which have not at some time
nade it their theme. Its aspect, its religion, its antiquities and productions have been described
awell by classic Greeks as by those of the lower empire, by the Romans, by the writers of
hina, Burmah, India and Cashmere, by the Geographers of Arabia and Persia, by the medieval
voyagers of Portugal and France, by the annaliste of Portugal and Spain, by the merchants and

adventurers of Holland, and by the travellers and gat ea of Great Britain.” Tennent’s
ription of the island is summed up thus :—

grandeur unsurpassed, if it be rivalled, by any land in the universe. The traveller from tha

The speed and comfort with which a journey to Ceylon can now be accomplished by the
magnificent vessels of the Peninsular and Oriental, Messageries, British India, and ae
important Steamship Cos. induce many besides the merchant or plantor to visit this bs eh
island. Those in search of tropical scenery and vegetation, or keen in archeology, che natura :
or sportsman, will all alike find ample field for enterprise, well repaying the re Ai ()

with snipe aud wild fowl in profusion, will give ocoupation to the sportsman. ae
To the archwologist the many ruined cities, with their stone carving and clear ben x
scriptions, offer infinite variety. Among the most wonderful of these ruins are those of Po “ih :
and Anurddhapura in the centre of the island. The latter was the chosen capital i le
Panduk Abhaya, 437 B.c., and remained the capital of the island for twelve centuries. hin or a

Fishery to commence on a certain date; by this date the arid and otherwise deserted coastland at
Arippu, on the N. W. coast, is the scene of a bustling town filled with people of varied races
and occupations—including divers and boatmen from the Coromandel Const, pearl dealers
from India, Malaya and China, with the necessary accompaniment of merchants and traders of all
classes. A limited number of boats and divers are licensed; every oyster is gathered by the
hand of the diver, no dredger or implement of any kind being used. The Government take as
royalty two-thirds of the oysters thus gathered, which are sold by public auction at the close of
each day’s fishing.
Tho manufacture of salt still romains a Government monopoly, and produces a profit of from
£80,000 to £90,000 per annum, the salt being sold by Government at 4s, 8d.a cwt. The
monopoly is, primd facie, open to the obvious objections which attach to all taxes on necessarics
of life; and if the circumstances of the country were such as to make it possible for the Govern-
ment to dispense with the revenuo derived frum the monopoly, these objections would have
much weigit. But the relation between the general revenuw and the requirements of the island
is such that it would be difficult to abandon, the revenue derived from salt without at the same
{ime abandoning the execution of public works of material importance, including the extension
and the efficient maintenance of means of communication. The significance of such a step to the
native population may be realised from the fact that until a comparatively recent date there were
districts in the island where the cost of transport added as much as 200 per cent. to the price
charged by Government for salt on the seaboard.
Gold, silver, ivory, and tortoiseshell work are also among the important native industries,
together with pottery, mats, fans and wood carving. The beautiful woods indigenous to the
island give grat scope to the ingenious native carvers and cabinct makers; among the most
valuable are—ebony, estin wood, calamander, jak, nedun, palai, ironwood, halmililla, &c. Tho
exhibits of these several industries will repay careful inspection,
The seas surrounding the shores abound in fish, and the coast line, especially in the 8. W.
and N. Provinces, is thickly populated, and has the appearance of an endless village, the
inhabitants of which are thriving, and whose wants are satisfied by a few hours’ fishing with
the most primitive appliances.
The Sinhalese, however, are mainly an agricultural race, and the vast majority are engaged
in tilling the soil. The stupendous works commenced 500 B.c. and continued by successive
kings of Ceylon in the construction of innumerable reservoirs or tanks for storing the rainfall
for irrigation purposes, testify to the great importance attached to agriculture in ancient times.*
The Legislature has for some years voted cousiderable sums annually from the general
revenue for the repair, maintenance, and improvement of these tanks, and to smaller works, to the
immense advantage of the rural population.
The Sinhalese cultivation is now chiefly confined to the production of their staple articles of
food, rice and dry grains and coconut, with gardens of areka palms, cinnamon, coffee, vegetables
and fruits.
In the Northern Province of Jaffua the natives are chiefly of Tamil origin; they cultivate
largely tobacco, dry grain, breadfruit, palmyra palm, vegetables and tropical fruits of all kinds,
The great agricultural industry, however, which bas mainly stimulated the progress and
prosperity of Ceylon, thus enabling the Government to undertake the construction of railways
and intersect the island with splendid roads and bridges, is coffee planting in the hill districts,
Nearly one-fifth of the island is comprised in the hill or mountain zone; the highest peak of the
range is Pidurutalagala, 8,296 ft. ‘The most interesting and best known is Adam’s Peak. The
majority of the plantations lie at an elevation of -between 2000 ft. and 5000 ft.; here the climate
is well-nigh perfection, and the luxury of the planter’s bungalow with its European comforts, sur-
tounded by roses and geraniume, with English fruits and vegetables, can be most justly appre-
ciated after the heat of a journey from Colombo to the hill stations,
The coffee plant is not, as cinnamon is, indigenous to Ceylon; but there were formerly few
uative hamlets in the low country that had nct scatfered coffee bushes around their door. It

was not, however, till about 1830 that European enterprise was first directed ‘to “).. Gultivation
of coffee in the island, since which date it contintied with varying éuccess till 1874-5, When ‘the
export of coffée reached nearly 1,000,000 cwts., representing ‘at the tlien ruling price'a value 't
nearly £5,000,000 sterling. These vast returns on capital drove forest land up to an extravagant
price, and Crown lands at an upset price of £1 an acre occasionally sold by ptblic auttion at fron
£20 to £24 an acre. ; , '
This great prosperity, however, did not continue unchecked. ‘In 1878-9 the effects of ‘th
fungus (Hemileia vastatriz) known as “ leaf disease,” had so seriously diminishéd the crops, thit
planters began to turn their attention to other plants ‘adapted to the climate and soil; cir

island.
risen from 2105 lbs. to 9,000,000 lbs.; the prospects both in crop and flavour have been »
successful that large plantations of coffee are being rooted up to make way for tea. It is
confidently anticipated that withia six years the export will reach 40,000,000 Ibs. No country
can boast of a better, or cheaper labour supply; but it is chiefly imported from India.
The Sinhalese peasants are excellent domestic servants, and are good at felling trees ani
clearing jungles, irrigation, and other works enforced under the Village Communities Act, bit
very few will undertake the routine work of the hill plantation labour.
Ceylon has therefore become the favourite resort of emigrants from the Malabar ani
Coromandel coast, who flock over in thousands and settle on the estates ; there are no unnecessay
restrictions, and the coming and going of these labourers is made as free and as easy as possible,
Public “rest houses” and hospitais are provided by Government at easy distances along th
central road running from Kandy ‘to Jaffna, by which most of tho emigrants find thei
way to the plantations.
In the prosperous years of coffee, as many as 150,000 Coolie labourers would migrate 1
Ceylon in one year, returning to their native villages to spend their savings, and immigratiny
again for the next harvest.
In addition to coffee, cinchona and tea, cacao is becoming an important item on many
plantations and is of excellent quality; india rubber, tapioca, vanilla and other tropical
products, are also successfully grown on many properties.
The large cultivation of cinnamon and coconut palm is chiefly in the hands of native
both thrive best in the low ccuntry near the sea. For many years the export of cinnamon was
Government monopoly, but now there ure no restrictions on its growth or export; the amout
of the cinnamon exported in 1883 exceeded 2,335,000 Ibs. The cultivation of the con
nut palm with its multifarious uses is the most important in the life of the Jow count
Sinhalese. The spirit he drinks is distilled from the sap, the kernel of the nut is a necess
element in his daily curry, the “milk” of the nut the beverage offered to every visitor. Hi
only lamp is fed from the oil, the nets for fishing are manufactured from the fibre, as is also tl
rope which keeps his. goat or cow from straying, while the rafters of his house, the thatch ¢
the roof, and the window blinds are made from its leaf and wood. The extent and value of tl
cultivation of this palm may be gathered from the fact that while, as already stated, its mat
products are a universal necessity in the daily life of the island population of nearly 3,000,0
the export of oil, copra and fibre exceeds in amount £700,000 annually, and the reven
derived from the excise duty levied on the spirit (arrack) distilled from the sap exceed
£170,000.

Buddhism predominates, are strictly Sinhalese in their character, and have been carried out by
Messrs. Maple & Co., from designs furnished by Mr. J. G. Smither, F.R.I.B.A., late Architect to
the Government of Ceylon. The dado round the Court, nine fect high above the floor, is
ornamented with representations of the mythological animals—the elephant, lion, bull, horse,
and goose, as they appear sculptured on ruined monuments in the ancient cities of Ceylon.
Higher up, a frieze, a yard in width, is covered with Sinhalese paintings, depicting some
of the more popular of the Birth Stories of Buddha; the frieze is surmounted by an
_ ornamental cresting, and depending from the roof-plate are fringed draperies. ‘The Gautama
Buddha is represented on the west wall of the Court, faciiig the entrance, by a figure in
alto velievo ten feet high, seated in the conventional attitude of contemplation. Beneath the

executed in ebony, coconut, ard tamarind, three of the principal cabiuct woods of Ceylon. This
gateway is the fac-simile of one, carved in stone at Yépahu, an ancient royal residence of the
Sinhalese monarchs,
The porch through which the Court is entered at its castern end is of teak wood, and
has been constructed by Sinhalese workmen in Ceylon, from a design prepared by Mr. Smither ;
the pillars with their elaborate carvings being faithful representations of portions of the King’s
Audience Hall at Kandy. The ornamental mosaic floor is the work of Messrs. Minton and Co,
of London. The wall which flanks the porch on either side (as well as that outside the Court,
hetween it and Old London) have been designed to represent as nearly as possible the massive
walls which surround the Daladé Méligdwa (the Buddhist Temple of the Sacred Tooth), and
other structures, both religious and secular, in Kandy.
In the open space between the Ceylon Court and Old London, and facing the Indian Palace,
is the Ceylon Tea-House, from an inspection of which a good idea of Sinhalese timber-
atchitecture may be obtained. ‘The building has been designed by Mr. Smither. It stands
Upon a raised terrace, the floor of which is paved with ornamental tiles provided by Messrs.
Minton & Co., who have also executed the exceedingly effective mural tiling with which the
south side and west end of the building are decorated. The frieze ornament is composed of the
leaves and blossoms of the tea plant, and that in the band above the dado of lotus-flowers. In
each of the four side bays is a framed painting on tiles, the subjects being as follows :—1. (to the
hd Trade of tt

8. Galbodu Fstate, weighing tea-leaf; and 4. View of Devon Estate, Dimbula, showing bungalow Norz.—§
and waterfall. Upon the end wall is a painting representing a Tami! girl tea-picking. All
these subjects have been faithfully enlarged from photogr.phs taken iz Ceylon by Mr. M. H.
Clerk, and W. H. Skeen & Co.
The woodwork generally has been painted and decorated to harmonise with the architecture,
yellow being again the predominating colour, relieved however by red, which has been adopted
for the several devices painted thereon,
Seven Sinhalese men have been brought over from Ceylon for the Exhibition. Of these,
four are employed as attendants at the Ceylon Tea-House, and form one of its most attractive 1, Buil
features. These men are typical low-country Sinhalese, and appear in their national dress, ri oss
Their custom of wearing combs in their hair, which is tied in a knot at the back of the head, is a 4 Pens
very striking characteristic of the country. The chief man of the party is a goldsmith, Wimala- 5. Cora
surendra by name, who is one of the cleverest workmen in his trade in Ceylon, and as such has 6. Hor:
been honoured by the Government with the native rank of Muhandiram of his caste. Two 7. Zool
carpenters complete the party, having been specially selected for their ability in their profession ; 5
much of the best carving exhibited, both in cabinet woods and in plumbago, is their handiwork. {f

Tum Seychelles Islands which are an appendage to Mauritius are probably little known to
report, They form, however, an important group in the Eastern seas, being situated a fow
degrees south of the line (lat. 8°81’ to 5°.45’ 8.; long. 53°.15' to 56°.10’ E.), and are abundant in
fertility and natural beauty. Originally discovered through the enterprise of the Portuguese,
they were, after ocoupation by the French, ceded to England in 1814, and now form one of not
the least interesting of her Majesty's possessions in this quarter of the globe.
A good acceunt of the islands is contained. in a book entitled “Six Years in Seychelles,”
which has been lately published by Mr. Estridge, who has for some years held an official position
in Mahé, the chief of the group. Her Majesty has been graciously pleased to accept a copy of
this work, which is well worthy of perusal by naturalists interested in our Eastern colonies, —
Mr. Eatridge has been at pains to amass a collection of the chief objects of interest found in
the islands comprising many hitherto little known as existing there.
Among the articles exhibited are specimens of the fruit of the Coco-de-mer (a species of
palm tree which grows only in these islands), which include a rare exhibit of that product in
its treble development, as well as some eccentric growths of the common cocoa-nut.
There are also examples of the curious insect called ‘the Walking Leaf, of the Mille Patte or
thousand-footed worm, and of a variety of scorpions, frogs, and snakes.
There are a goodly number of skinned fish, and the collection comprises some peculiar
crabs, rayataile, and starfish.
We notice also a small hawk of which even the British Museum cannot boast a representa-
tive, and some fine flying foxes,
Even the geological formation of the islands has not escaped Mr. Estridge’s vigilance, and
he shows us some good pieces of black and amethystine quartz, nacrite, and other stones.
- A most beautiful specimen of a coral garden is also shown.
Several sketches of fruits, flowers, and other objects complete a collection which cannot fail
to attract considerable interest.

From Epwarp J. JEKYLL, Esq., Zierow,
Wismar, Mecklonburg-Schwerin, August 9,
1884 :— In fulfilment of my promise, I write
to report on the °450, 400 Express Double
Rifle you built for me last spring. It is ex-
ceedingly neat and handy, and ita cig
both with solid and expanding bullets, is
most accurate. My two last shots have been
as follows :—First, at a red deer, whose head
alone was visible over the brow of some
speep iy rsing gronnd the expanding bullet
struck him between eye and ear, and he fell
on the spot; second, with solid bullet, » roc-
kbeien shot through the heart dead at ninety
ards.

Tho Field writes of The Cape Gun” :—
“ Selecting one at random from stock, we tried
the rifle barrel, first at 70, and afterwards at
100 yards, from an ordinary rest, and were
able to pul ball upon ball at both distances, 20
that the truth of ite shooting from’ the ‘rifled
barrel is good’ enough for any purpose, aud,
indeed, oannot be excelled even by the most ex-
pensive rifle in the market.”

“We have tested this revolver with nearly

create any difficulty in manipulation. With
regard to accuracy, WE HAVE MADE
EXCELLENT PRACTICE WITH IT;
that is to say, AS GOOD AS WITH ANY

‘STRAITS SETTLEMENTS,
AND PROTECTED MALAY STATES.
Turse Settlements consist of Singapore, an island at the south of the Malay Peninsula; Penang,
an island officially known as Prince of Wales Island, on the west coast of that peninsula; and
a strip of land opposite known as Province Wellesley; the Dindings, several Islands with a strip
of territory on the mainland to the south of Penang; and Malacca, situated between the
Dindings and Singapore.
‘Singapore contains an area of 206 square miles; Penang, 107; Province Wellesley, 207;
Malacca, 659; the Dindings, including the island of Pankor, about the same area as Singapore.
Malacca was taken possession of by the Portuguese in 1511, and remained in their hands
until 1641, when it was occupied by the Nethorlanders, and retained by them until 1795.
Between the last-named date and 1818 it was in the occupation of the English, but was restored
to the Netherlands in 1818, By.a treaty with Holland dated 17th March, 1824, Malacca was
again ceded to England in exchange for Bencoolen in Sumatra. It was agreed moreover that
England would not attempt to form any settlements in Sumatra, nor the Netherlanders in the
Malay Peninsula.
Penang was ceded to England in 1785 by the Rajah of Kedah; Province Wellesley being
also acquired from the Rajah a few years later to enable the authorities to put down the prevailing
piracy which played havoc amongst the European merchantmen. This latter territory is bounded
by the Muda River, and by a line ten miles south of the Krian River. Penang was the seat of
Government of the Straits Settlements until 1832, since which date it has been carried on at
Singapore.
The Dindings were ceded to the Colony by Treaty in 1874.
The chief productions of the peninsula consist of tin, sugar, spices, rice, tapioca, sago, hides,
horns, gum, coffee and tobacco, but many of these are not grown in English territory.
* Trade is largely on the increase, as will be shown by a comparison of the returns of the
united imports and exports for the years 1859-60 and 1884 given below :—

£14,821,800 £89, 077,809
The Straits ports are wholly free from export and import dutics.
The total population of the Settlements, in 1881, was 423,384, as against 807,951 in 1871,
and 278,000 in 1866.
The following table will give an idea of the mixed character of the inhabitants :—

The Revenne of the Colony is derived from land, licences, stamp duties, light dues, judicial
fines and fees, and certain reimbursements. Its increasing character will be seen from the
following statistics :—

1884 . . : 629,921 580,147
The number of vessels entered at the ports of the colony in 1884 (exclusive of native craft),
was 5848, with a burthen of 3.684,174 tons; of those entered outwards, 5,759, with a tonnage of
8,576,498, the number of native vessels being 9,417 inwards, and 9,849 outwards, the tonnage being
266,954 and 280,986 respectively.
The Colony has important political relations with tho peignbouring Malay countries, three
of which are under’ British protection, and have contributed: their respective shares to the
Exhibition. These three States, Perak, Selangor, and Sungni Ujong, oxtend from the border of
Province Wellesley to that of Malacca.
They are governed by their native rulers, acting with the advice and assistance of an officer
styled the British Resident, who is appointed by Her Majesty’s Government, and is directly
subject to the Governor of the Straits Settlements. Each State has also its staff of European
and native officers. Of the threo’ States, Perak, with an extent of 7,949 square uniles of territory,
and a population of 118,000 persons, is the most important,
A Resident was first appointed to Perak in 1874, under the treaty of Pankro, and the State
has’ since made rapid progress. The revenue has risen from £64,728 in 1877 to £238,749 in
1884; life and property are secure; a railway connecting the chief town, Thaipeng, with the sea,
and a complete system of ronds and telegraphs have been constructed, bringing the various
portious of the State, which up to-1874 were connected only by tho rivers, into close inter-
communication.
The principal industry of the State is the mining, its agriculture having been as-yet but
little developed. The soil is, however, rich, and its adaptability to all kinds of tropical produce
has been demonstrated, an requires only the introduction of capital to yield good returns.
Tapioca, pepper, rice, sugar, coffee and tea have ull been successfully cultivated.
Liberal land regulations have been passed by the State Government. Among the exhibits
sent by the State is o full-sized Malay house, which has been erected in the Exhibition by
Malay carpenters, and is built and furnished entirely with materials sent for the purpose and
in accordance with native custom.
The State of Selangor occupies an area of about 3,000 square miles. It lies immediately
south of Perak, from which it is separated by the Barnam river.
Like Perak, the State is chiefly dependent on tin. mining for its prosperity, though small
plantations of coffee, cacao and pepper have been established, and are doing well, in various parts
of the State. A railway, twenty-two miles in length, connecting Kwala Lumpor, the capital, with
the sea, is under construction, and will be opened for traffic in July 1886, \
The revenue, which amounted to £32,246 in 1876, had increased to £75,110 in 1888.
The population amounts to 46,568 persons.
Shugai Ujong has an area of 660 square miles, and is situated to the south of Selangor and
north-west of Malacca.
The povulation consists of about 14,000 persons, and the revenue ‘amounted in 1884 to
£20,196. Tin mining, which in former years was largely carried on in the State, has now fallen
away, but Arabian coffee and cinchona on the hills, and tapioca, Liberian coffee, cacao, and pepper
in the lowlands, are being successfully cultivated.
‘Nhe Court of the Straits Settlements and Protected Native States lies mainly in the East
Gallery and East Arcade, though a small portion of it is situated between those of British
Guiana and Hong Kong.

HONG KONG.
" Hone Kone is an island, 12 miles east-south-east from the estuary of the Canton River, and
90 miles from Canton, the capital of Southern China. It is, with its dependencies, a Colony of
Great Britain.
The name “‘ Hong Kong” is derived from the Chinese “ Heung Kong,” meaning the fragrant
fea Port. The island was formerly, and still is, generally known among the Chinese by the name
of Kwan Tai Lo, meaning Petticoat String Road, the original road or pathway along the northern
shore, being compared by the Chinese to a petticoat string.
The island of Hong Kong is situated between 22° 10' and 22° 17’ north latitude, and 114° 6’
and, 114° 18’ east longitude. It is bounded on the north by the harbour of Victoria, on the
north-east by a pass, from a quarter to. half a mile wido, known os the Ly-ee-moon pass, on the
east by Tathong Channel, and on the south and west by the China Sea, here atudded with
numerous islands and islets. Victoria Harbour, Ly-ee-moon pass, and Tathong Channel separate
the island from the mainland of China within the province of Kwong-tung, aot the least riotous
of. the provinces of China,
The island of Hong Kong has a circumference of 27 miles, and an area of 80 square miles,
very little of which can be called cultivable land, owing to the abrupt and rocky hills
composing by far the greatest part of the area, It was ceded to Great Britain, together with the
harbour and islets, in January 1841, and the cession was confirmed by the Treaty of Nanking in
Augut 1842.: Hong Kong and its dependencies were erected into “the Colony of Hong Kong,” by
Letters Patent bearing date the 5th April, 1843,
In. October 1860, a part of the mainland jutting into Victoria Harbour, and known as tho
Kowloon Peninsula, containing an area. of 3 square miles, was also ceded to Great Britain asa
dependency of the Colony of Hong Kong. The name Kowloon is derived from Kaulung, the
nine dragons. .
The administration of the Colony, until recently, was in the hands of the Governor, with an
Executive Council of five Official Members, and a Legislative Council of four Official and four
Unofficial Members, presided over by the Governor, all the Unofficial Members having been
nominated by the Crown on the Governor's recommendation. Since the advent of His
Excellency Sir George Ferguson Bowen, the present Governor, and on his recommendation,
the Councils have been remodelled, and the Executive now consists of six Official Members,
and the Legislative Council of six Official and five Unofficial Members, three of the latter being
nominated by the Crown, and the other two being elected by local representative bodies, viz., one
by the Chamber of Commerce, and one by the Justices of the Peace, not being Government
Officers.
The island of Hong Kong consists for the greater part of abrupt and rocky hills. Indeed, the
north side of the island is separated from the south by a continuous range of high hills,
terminating in rocky peaks, mostly upwards of 1,000 feet above the sea-level, while Victoria Peak
on the west side, and Mount Parker on the east side, aro from 1,820 to 1,840 feet high. ‘The
average width of tho island is only 8 miles, and the descent from the hills to the sea is
consequently very abrupt and precipitous. The eastern division of the island is much wider,
the hills extending more to the north, and also a groater distance to the south, so that the
extreme width of the island, about 7 miles, is there obtained. The south-castern part of the
island is divided, however, by an inlet of the sea a mile and a half broad and running for 8
miles between the hills, called Taitam Bay. ‘This bay forms the south-eastern side of the
island into two peninsulas, known as the Taitam and D’ Aguilar peninsulas.
During heavy rains all the ravines are tumed into torrents, but in the winter season, when
comparatively little rain falls, most of them are dry. There is, however, a curious and even
remarkable exception in some few of the ravines, which are channels for streamleta, furnishing
continually a good supply of water, and not failiug in the driest season, when all others are
dried up.
The island is composed principally of granito, in various stages, and there is little or no soil

properly so called. The surface of the island is mostly decomposed granite and hard rock,
although on the tops of some of the higher hills large beds of clay are found. Embedded in the
decomposed granite are huge round boulders, from 10 to 20 feet in diameter, of hard granite,
having the quartz, mica, and felspar well beoportloned, and of the best description for building
jurposes.
The Zoology of Hong Kong is limited as regards wild animals to a species of wild cat, but
this is not‘ numerous, ‘The domestic animals in addition to dogs and cats are buffaloes, goats and
pigs. Reptiles are numerous, and include pythons and snakes of various kinds (two of which only
the cobra and a green snake, popularly known as the bamboo snake, have been found to be poisonous),
lisarda, iguanas, bull and edible frogs, and newts. The insects are most numerous, comprising
beetles of all kinds, mosquitoes, dragon-flies, locusts, ants, wasps, bees, butterflies, moths, spiders,
centipedes, scorpions, snails, worms, fire-flies, glow-worms, &c. White ants are also very common
and destructive. Oysters, cuttlefish, sea stars, jelly fish, and sea anemones are plentiful in the
waters of the Colony. Since the first Preservation of Bird’s Ordinance was paseed in 1870, various
kinds of ‘birds now find their home undisturbed in the Colony. The rapacious birds include
sparrow, hawks, and kites. The perching birds are goat-suckers, king-fishers, fly-catchers,
wagtails, tom-tits, larks, house sparrows, Java sparrows, numerous magpies, of both large and
small varieties. The climbing birds include several kinds of woodpeckers, and among the
gallinaceous birds are peacock and other pheasants, and numerous pigeons and doves. In the
marshes and paddy fields adjoining some parts of the Canton River, tice birds, quail, teal, herons,
and snipe are found.
The Flora of Hong Kong comprises over 1,200 species, the importance of which to the botanist
will be understood when it is considered that the late Mr. Bentham in his valuable work ‘Flora
Hongkongensis’ enumerated 1,056 species, which are distributed into 59 genera, and 125 natural
orders. Since that time discoveries new to botanical science have been, and are still being made;
indeed, since 1861 to the present time, over 180 species have been added to Mr. Bentham’s list,
Scattered over the island may be found many trees, shrubs and plants, not only interesting to the
ordinary observer, but valuable to the scientist. Hong Kong is the natural home of the beautiful
Rhodolewia Championi, as well as of several other well-known plants, such as the camellia, azalia,
long-flowered lily, hibiscus, strychinos, thorn apple and gelsemium. Ferns and orchids also
abound on the island and are most varied and beautiful.
Hong Kong’is situated within the region of the monsoons, by which the climate of the Colony
is largely influenced. The climate of Hong Kong, like the climate of the whole of Southem
China, is particularly damp in summer during the south-west monsoon, and particularly dry in
autumn and winter during the north-east monsoon. The seasons are therefore divided into
wet and dry, the former commencing with May and ending with September, the latter lasting
from October to April.
At the commencement: of the year the north-east monsoon is blowing steadily, sometimes
with great force, and continues without interruption until the beginning of March, when it
becomes reduced in force, then wavers, and gradually dies away. In years of great summer-heat
in Australia. and the southern hemisphere, the easterly trade wind of the Pacific Ocean and its
north-western boundary, the north-east monsoon, is drawn several degrees further south than
usual, and almost on to the Equator, thus giving a longer and cooler spring to Hong Kong. By
the ‘end of May the south-west monsoon is generally set in. It commences with a strong
breeze, but is never equal in weight or force to the north-east monsoon. Although bringing
tremendous downpours of rain, lasting a longer or shorter time, it is the fine weather-period of the
year to the navigator of the China Seas, with sometimes a terrible exception, for the period of the
south-west monsoon is the season for those great, and often fearfully destructive revolving storms
known as typhoons. The south-west monsoon is generally ended with the month of October,
-when the north-east monsoon at once commences, and continues with varying energy, sometimes
coming down in the full burst of a hard gale, until the following spring.
The average annual rainfall is 85 inches, of which 70 inches fall from May to September.
Vicrorta.—The flourishing town of Victoria, the centre of the Colonial Government, and
the trade and commerce.of the Colony, is beautifully situated on the north side of the island,
along Victoria; Bey, and fronting its magnificent harbour. It extends along the Bay for a
distance of 4 miles, and stands chiefly on the lower undulations and slopes of the hill-sides,

having ateep ascents from the harbour; from’ which it presente a fine view t the spectator. The
harbour; of Victoria jis,\tho eapacious channel of the ‘China Sea lying between the town and
the Ohine,; having a length’ of 4’ miles and «breadth of from 2 to 8 miles. It
is of suffivient; depth for the largest vessels, and could acbommodate the ‘fleets of the whole world.
It opens to the Northern Seas and Pacific Ocean through the deep channel of the Ly-ee-moon
pase, and to the Southern Seas direct, along the west shore of the island. The town has length
without much breadth, and assumes no particular form, for the streets and roads aro adapted to
the steep and varying slopes of the hill sides, and the narrow atrip of land forming the lower
levels between the foot of the hills and the harbour. Running along the front of the town and
the greater part of the harbour, is the Praya, fine! road 50 feet witle, with a granite retaining
wall, on the harbour side, leyel with the road. Along the Praya, and fronting the harbour, stand
the houses of business and, storehouses: of merchants, ‘shippera, and traders, Behind the Praya
and parallel to it is the Queen’s Road running the whole length of the town. Here are the
houses of the Banking and other Companies, professional gentlemen, and of the principal store-
keepers and traders, part of the eastern, and the whole of the western portion being entirely
occupied by Chinese shope of every description, the European houses occupying the central por-
tion only, . The steep slopés of the hills start immediately from the Queen’s Road on its south
side, and here are the streets running in various directions, o¢cupied by the shops‘and stores of
traders and dealers of all sorts, but principally Chinese and Indian. The town is really divided
into two parts, without, any particular line of demarcation. The European houses are mostly on
the eastern side and higher levels’ of the town, and the Chinese principally on the western side.
_. The principal schools are the Government Central School, the buildirg for which has for
some time been inadequate for its wants, and a new school to replace it is now being built, to be
called Victoria College; The Hong Kong Public School or St, Paul’s College, under the direction
of the Bishop of the Colony, the Rt. Rev. Bishop Burdon, and a Committee, and St. Joseph’s
College, under the direction of the Bishop of Acantho, the Rt. Rev. Bishop Raimondi, and the
Christian Brothers, There are also schools supported by different missionary bodies, the principa,
being the Diocesan Home and Orphanage, the Basel Mission School, the German Foundling
House, and the Baxter Mission Vernacular Schools for girls, ‘There are also French, Italian, and
Spanish Convents.
Hong Kong possesacs a Chamber of ;Commerce and several Clubs. The principal Clubs are
the Hong Kong (English) Club, the Club Germania, the Lusitano Club, and the Jovkey Club.
There are also Yacht, Cricket, and Recreation Clubs, an Amateur Dramatic Club, a Choral
Society, and saveral Masonic Lodges.
There are two first-class hotels, the Hong Kong Hotel, and the Victoria Hotel, both centrally
situated in the Queen’s Road, with views over the harbour and to the mainland on the one side,
and to Victoria Peak on the other. The Stag Hotel is an hotel of the second class, noted for its
good fare and moderate charges, and is well situated in the Queen’s Road Central.
The Colony has excellent dock accommodation for the largest ships. The principal docks
are those of the Hong Kong end Whampoa Dock Co., Limited, who have two extensive establish-
ments on thé mainland known as the Kowloon and Cosmopolitan Docks, and one at Aberdeen on
the south side of the island. rg
The supply of water to Victoria is derived principally from a large reservoir at Pokfulam on
the south side of the island beneath Victoria Peak, the water being brought to the town by a
covered conduit running for upwards of 8 miles along the hill sides. This supply has
unfortunately proved inadequate to the growing wants of the town, and a new supply is to be
provided from the Taitam hills, very extensive worke for this purpose being now in progress.
The water‘of the Colony is considered to be good, but it requires filtering before it is fit for
drinking. An abundant supply of water to the town and proper sanitary arrangments are
absolutely needed. The sanitary arrangements of the Colony, at the présent time, are revolting.
Hong Kong is in constant communication with Europe, India, America, and Australia, by
means of the Mail Steamers of the Peninsular and Oriental Steam Navigation Co., the Messageries
Maritimes, the Pacific Mail Co., the Occidental and Oriental Steam Ship Co., and several great lines
of Merchant Steamers. These is also frequent steamship communication between Hong Kong and
the Coast ports, and a daily service between Hong Kong and Canton, and Hong Kong and Macao.

BRITISH NORTH BORNEO.
By Sir Rutnerrorp Atcock, K.C.B.
Tux youngest, though by no means the smallest or most insignificant of the large progeny of
British Colonies distributed all over the globe, and more or less clocely connected with the parent
State,—North Borneo is one of tho latest additions to the number. It was founded by the
“British North Borneo Company,” under 4 Royal Charter bearing dato the lat November, 1881,
not quite five years ago, The cession of territory by the Sultans of Brunei and Sulu to
Mr. Dent and others took place earlier, in December 1877 and January 1878,
The territory defined in the original grants and recognized in the charter comprises the
whole of the'northern portion of Borneo, from the Kimanis river on the west, to the Sibuco
river on the cast coast, and, including a late cession of Padas district, stretches over an estimated
area of 81,000 square miles, with a coast-line of 600 miles, and several of the finest harbours in
the Eastern Seas. Kudat, in Marudu Bay, the moet northern point, it has been said, is so
situated that it would inevitably come, in time, to intercept all the trade from Palawan Balabao,
Sulu and Cagayan-Sulu, that now passes westward through the Mallawalli passage, if not much
of the trade of the Southern Phillippines also.
Among the great harbours which give importance to North Borneo, in view of the vast trade
in the China Sens and future eventualities in time of war, are Gaya and Ambong on the west
coast, Kudat, above described, to the north and the nearest to the great fairway of our trade
between India and China, Japan and Australia. Tho last is in close proximity to the Palawan
passage, and lies nearly midway between Hong Kong, the Straits, and Australia, being within
five days of each by steam. Sandakan Bay, on the east coast, where the Government head-
quarters are placed, has been described by Mr. Hunt in a report to Bir Stamford Raffles in 1812,
as“ the finest in the world.”
The recent aspirations of the chief Continental powers—notably France and Germany—for
Colonial expansion, and the numerous annexations made in furtherance of this object in Africa,
tn the Pacific, and the Eastern seas, are facts which give increased importance to the acquisition
of North Borneo by a British Company, secured, as it is, by a Royal Charter and the British flag
from all aggression or encroachment on the part of any alien or foreign power. From its central
position, moreover, it possesses advantages both commercial and strategical, which no other
island in the Eastern Archipelago can offer, and, under existing circumstances, its value in an
international no less than a national point of view cannot well be over-estimated.
Its past history bears this out, for its ports once possessed a flourishing trade with China and
the adjoining archipelago, and a large and industrious population, until the advent of Europeans,
Portuguese, Dutch, and Spaniards in these regions, after the discoveries of Bernardo Dias and
the voyage of Vasco di Gama round the Cape, opened the way to India and China by sea, now
four centuries ago. The cupidity and ruthless policy of all the first settlers in the Eastern
Archipelago, among islands so rich and populated, destroyed all security for life or property
to the natives. With this loss of security their commercial and agricultural prosperity
rapidly disappeared, and Borneo was seduced, in common with many, other most productive and
flourishing islands, toa wildernegs, and the inhabitants converted into pirates and head-hunters,
drivon from the more peaceable and productive pursuits of agriculture and commerce,
Much of the fine territory of Borneo, rich in all natural products, with ranges of mountains
to vary the tropic climate, and numerous rivers to afford cheap and easy means of transport from
the interior, has thus remained for two centuries in a state of abandonment and jungle, and with
& very scanty population; the land came into the possession of the original grantees in 1877, and
was transferred to the present Company only in 1882. What progress has been made in this
short period, in efforts to introduce civil government in harmony with British laws, and to
develop all the latent resources of the conntry, can only be imperfectly estimated by the products
pow showa in this Exhibition. * ;
2n2
872 British North Borneo.
Time was wanting to enablo the resident officials to make a complete or exhaustive exhibit,
even of the natural products spread over so large an area, much of which has not yet been fully
explored or settled. Nevertheless, great exertions have been made to bring together, on a very
short notice, as many of these products as may chiefly be counted upon in the near future, to
furnish the staples of a considerable trade, and offer sufficient inducements. to merchants and
planters to contribute in promoting so good a work. Already a German firm. has been actively
engaged in the cultivation of tobacco, and another company formed in Chiua has been similarly
occupied ; while the returns of trade in the brief period of five years suffice to show both a
tapid and considerable progress.
If these may be looked upon as small beginnings, compared with the extent and value
of British trade in the China Seas alone, it will be remembered how small and unpromising,
as well as insignificant, were the two settlements of Hong Kong and Singapore in the first
years, though now forming the great central depots of a trade which takes the whole world
in its circuit, Not fifty years ago, Hong Kong—as the writer remombers it—was a barren island,
a bare rock, with only a few fishermen for its inhabitants. At the present day there is a large
city with a population of a hundred thousand Chinese domiciled in the island, while ships crowd
its capacious harbours under every flag which flies in the two hemispheres. A similar history
has marked the development of Singapore and the Straits Settlements. These have only risen to
their present state of wealth and prosperity within the last century, and Singapore still more
recently. In 1880 the value of the united exports and imports of Singapore’ amounted to
£25,740,174, due mainly to three great factors—geographical situation, an equitable Government,
and a plentiful supply of cheap labour in the Chinese colonists. With similar if not equal advan-
tages, there is reasonable ground to hope that a like future may be in store for the Company’s
territory. Nor does such a result concern the Colony and the Company alone. Shut out, as
English goods are, from all the continental States by protective duties, Europe is duily becoming
of less value to us as an outlet for our manufactures, Not only are our goods excluded. by
hostile tariffs, but we are further debarred from the sale of our goods in European markets by
the growing progress of the industries of those countries further protected by the longer hours
of labour and the lower wages prevailing there. Hence, in view of the present economic
Condition, and the future prospects of our country, the chief hope of an improved state of trade
lies in the opening and development of new markets in less civilized countries and semi-
barbarous regions. The markets of the East are still open where Russian tariffs do not exist,
and no prohibitive or hostile duties are likely to be permitted under native rule. We should
not be slow therefore to profit by this condition, seeing that England can only prosper, or
continue to live industrially, by a vigorous policy steadily persevered in for the extension and
protection of the markets yet open in the East to her industries, or only awaiting development
and English enterprise to make them thriving marts to the mutual advantage of native and
British races.
It is in furtherance of such a policy and the advancement of these national objects of highest
importance that the infant Colony is now, for the first time, brought in line with the other
colonies of Great Britain, by the appearance in this Exhibition of the products of India anc the
Colonies; and however modest the contribution, it is hoped the chief exhibits will be found to
give promise at no distant date of considerable mercantile value, and draw public attention
to their prospective importance,
Propvors,
Tho chief products are at present limited to the ordinary jungle produce of the Eastern
Archipelago, and form the principal trade of the territory—which is capable of considerable
development as tho country is opened up—they consist of Gutta-percha, India-rubber, Rattans,
Camphor, Birds’ Nests, Beeswax, and a great variety of valuable timber. Among the cultivated
products aro—'Tobacco, Sugo, Pepper and Gambier; on the sea coast Pearls in oyster beds;
“'Trepang” or Béche de Mer, 80 largely consumed in China, Specimens of all these will be
found in the collection, Gold, toq, and some traces of tin have been found in several of
the rivers, ;
The country is not thickly populated, and is fortunate in the absence of any one powerful
tribe of fighting proclivities, euch ap some of those whioh inhabit other districts of the island.

a a ee ee,
The soil and climate are pronounced by planters from Ceylon, Sumatra, and Australia, to be
well-suited for the cultivation of sugar, and other tropical products, but more especially for that
of tobacco and pepper, which have long been cultivated by the natives, and two European
tobacco-plantations as already stated, are now being carried on. Nearly 200,000 acres of land
have been selected, nurseries have been planted with sugar and tobacco, but, owing to the
depression of trade, the area under cultivation is very limited. By the Company’s Regulations
land can be purchased at one dollar an acre, and under especial agreement and conditions
concessions have been made at 30 cents.
The much esteemed bilian, or iron wood of Borneo, is found in large quantities, and several
other kinds of valuable timber abound. A saw-mill is in full work at Sandakan.
GOVERNMENT,
The Government is administered by a Governor, assisted by a Council, and by a Colonial
Secretary and Residents; and the mode of Government of a British Crown Colony is adhered to
as far as practicable.
Finance ann Revenvn,
The sources from which the revenue is drawn consist chiefly of the licences for purchasin
and retailing opium for smoking, for the sale of spirits, and other exciseable articles, all of which
are farmed out to private individuals; 10 per cent. royalty on jungle produce exported ; a poll tax,
an old-established source of revenue among the natives, in lieu of land taxes, and a stamp duty.
The land revenue comprises the proceeds of sales of public lands, quit rents, and fees on trans-
fers. There are, in addition, Judicial fees and Post Office Stamps; these, and a few miscellaneous
items, make up the remaining sources of revenue.
CLIMATE AND SantTary Conprtion.
The Principal Medical Officer, Dr. Walker, reports: “The rainfall is well distributed, and
although there are distinct wet and dry seasons, there is not, as in many tropical places, con-
tinuous rain night and day for weeks, followed by weeks or months of absolute dry weather.
The greater part of the rain falls during the night, and although showers during the day are
not unusual, especially in the wet season, a day of continuous rain is rare. The temperature
also varies very slightly throughout the year. It will be observed that the range of the
monthly average minimum temperature is only from 71°6 to 75°2 degrees, while the extreme
range of the daily minimum temperature is only 67:5 to 77'5 degrees. It will thus be seen
that the nights are always cool. The coldest time in the twenty-four hours generally from two
to five a.m. The range of variation of monthly mean maximum temperature is from 82°3 to
91°5 degrees, while the highest temperature ever recorded in the shade was 93°5 degrees.
‘A noticeable point is the absence of the so-called ‘cold’ season, which is recognised as
the most unhealthy period in India. The coldest months are November, December, January,
February, and March, while in the middle of the hot season there is a fall of temperature during
June and July. The temperature of any month depends very much on the amount of rainfall.
It may be stated generally that the heat is not oppressive, and I have been assured by several
fersons that a temperature of 90 degrees here is less oppressive than one 10 degrees lower in
China or Ceylon. Hence it is never impossible, and rarely unpleasant, to walk about during
the heat of the day, while several of our European residents wear no better protection for their
head than a simple straw hat.
‘“‘Winds.—The monsoons are the south-west, lasting from April to November, and the north-
east, from December to March. The first and last months of each monsoon is variable. This
change of the monsoon is the most unhealthy period. A well-selected site is never practically
without at least a gentle breeze, though from eleven a.m. till two p.m. it may be slight, hence
punkahs are not required. Squalls occur occasionally in the evening or at night, but not of a
severe character. Hurricanes are not found so near the Equator.
‘¢ General Conclusions —I am inclined to take a very hopeful view of the future salubrity of
the territory. The parts that are at present unhealthy will certainly improve as the country
gets opened up, and to an extent that will far outbalance the change in the temperature and
consequent change in the type of disease that will certainly follow the felling of the jungle.

British North Borneo.
The enemy I am most afraid of in this country is biri biri. Altogether looking at the suitability
of the climate; the healthiness of this as a new country, and the mild type of the diseases that
prevail; and most of all, at the present healthiness of well-selected stations, I think there is every
reason to hope that North Borneo will eventually prove to be one of the healthiest of all tropical
climates.”
MONETARY,
There is no Bank at present in the territory, but a copper and paper currency under the
guarantee of the Company, with proper reserves, and the banking facilities afforded by the
Government Treasury provide in some degree for the requirements of the country, as the notes of
the Company are payable by their agents in Hong Kong and Singapore.
Much more might be added on the climatic, sanitary, and other physical conditions of the
territory as an exceptionally favoured tropic region, out of the line of earthquakes and typhoons,
which work such hayoc and devastation in the Plulippines in the north, and the Dutch pos-
sessions further south. But enough has probably been said, it is believed, to.establish in the
minds of those who read, the conviction that the progress already made in five years will
compare favourably with that of any Colony
Government.
TIMBER EXHIBITS,
The forest trees of British North Borneo are
very numerous, and amount to about seventy-
eight known kinds. Some of these are valuable
for world-wide uses, and exist in such quantities
as renders the use of them available in those
countries where wood is scarce, particularly
China and Australia, which are only distant
some.1,100 miles from British North Borneo;
countries which afford markets for enormous
quantities of timber now chiefly obtained from
North America.
A good idea may be obtained of the facilities
afforded to the ‘limber Trade by referring to
the Map, of British North Borneo, which in
addition to a sea-board of over 700 geographical
miles, exhibits. many creeks, harbours, and
large rivers.
‘he area of: British North Bornco is 31,000
square miles, the greater portion of which ia
covered with dense forest, containing trees up
to ten feet in dinmeter, and of great height—
many of them being over 100 feet to the first
branch.
Some of the woods of British North Borneo
are particularly handsome, and have received
from the trade the’name of Borneo Mahogany,
and Borneo Walnut, while others have been
named Borneo Cedar and Borneo Ironwood, form
qualities which are recognised as being similar
to those well-known woods, and these: it is
hoped will find a paying market in any part of
the world.
A glance at the Map of the World will show
that British North Borneo occupies such a
position in the Malay Archipelago as enables
its timber merchants to deal profitably with
the Straits Settlements, China, and Australia.
The woods selected for this Exhibition are
the following, obtainable in quantity, and_for
under the direct control of Her Majesty’s
which orders can be: executed, and notes will
enable the trade to understand for what special
uses the different woods are suitable. As regards
the prices at which the same can be supplied,
information can be obtained at the Office of
The British North Borneo Company, 4 and 6,
Throgmorton Avenue, London.

India, and most of the baleam-producing trees
of Borneo and the Malayan Archipelago.—
Seriah has not yet been botanically named. It
formerly was found in abundance in the Malay
Archipelago, and is still obtainable in large
quantities in British North Borneo. The wood
resembles cedar in grain, and is found in three
colours, the red being the most prized. It is
much used in joinery, house building, and for
furniture, and takes a fine polish. It has con-
siderable transverse strength, and is exported
in large quantities to Australia, India and
China,—weight per cubic foot, 40 lba. Samples
of the Seriuh Batu or hard red cedar, Majow,
or soft red cedar, yellow and white Seriah have
been sent for exhibition. (4 samples.)

). BRITISH GUIANA.
By G. H. Hawtayne, F.R.G.S.
Tue Oolony of British Guiana lies between Venesuola, Brazil, Dutch Guiana and the Atlantic
Ocean on the north-east Coast of South America, and first settled by the Dutch in'1580, has since
1803 belonged to England. Its area is computed at 76,000 equare miles, but the boundaries
between it and Venezuela and Brazil are undetermined. For some miles from the sea, which is
x of'an unattractive dirty yellow hue, the land is low and flat, being a rich alluvial deposit, in
which coffee and cotton once grew; and in later days the sugar-cane flourishes luxuriantly. Its
rivers are broad, and have their sources hundreds of miles away in the interior. Large vessels
ascend these streams for long distances, but beyond the rivers are crossed by rock formations, over
x which they plunge and fall; and it is only the Indian’s light dug-out or corrial that can pass these
obstructions,
p hea The climate is warm but not oppressive. The thermometer, it is truc, ranges from 75° to 90°,
vy
but a refreshing sea-breeze tempers the heat. The Colony is not so unhealthy as is generally
t is low. supposed, and with care and ordinary precaution good health can be enjoyed.
The population is mixed. It numbers 264,000, more or less, and comprises Europeans,
Aboriginal Indians, West Indians, Portuguese, Africans, Chinese, and lastly East Indians,
who were reckoned at upward of 92,000 in 1885.
| 0 The Flora is rich, but as yet only partially explored. Its chief features are its lofty trees
and palms, and the abundance of flowering creepers, &c., which cling to the tallest branches.
j a The forests abound in timber trees of great value and variety.
The Fauna is interesting and deserves research. The Labba—of which it is said that he whe

08, Cy “tigers,” jaguars and pumas, deer, opossums and manatees are also not uncommon, The
11te. birds are abundant and of rare beauty. Many fish of many kinds inhabit the ea and rivers.
Alligators, snakes and turtle are common objects; and lifo is prevented from becoming too
enjoyable by the bats and ants, mosquitoes and beetles.
Sugar is the chief product, and on the success of this depends the prosperity ifnot the existence
hate of the Colony. Of other cultivation there is at the present day comparatively little. Cotton has
died out, because labour is dearer, and less certain and constant than it was “ beforetime.” Coffee,
too, the successful cultivation and reaping of which depends ona reliable supply of labour, is
only grown on a small scale, although the Liberian variety shows promise of rewarding the pains
of those who plant it. Cacao culture is only in its infanoy, and soat present the cane is the chief,
iC ACID— if not the only support of the Colony. Of sugar, large quantities are raised and exported. In
1885 the crop, which was reckoned but a short ono, reached 106,532 hhds.; in the previous year
it was 139,296. In the Exhibition will be found abundant specimens of the fine sugars
ptoduced in the Colony —Muscovado (once known as “moist” or “ brown”), white and yellow
crystals, and dark sugar, the latter rich in saccharine matter, but with a colour which permits its a ae i:
introduction into the American market for refining purposes at a low rate of duty. Molasses and a
Rum are also shown.
VICH.
The proprietors of sugar plantations spare no trouble, no expense in cultivation end
; no stone is left unturned to maintain a foremost rank in the British market, This
_ atruggle has of late been rendered most difficult by the competition of bounty-supported sugars
from the Continent of Europe. How much longer it can be continued remains to be seen, but it
is evident that with the dissolution of the sugar industry grave trouble and difficulties must
arise in a community constituted as is that of British Guiana.
The Ethnological collection in the Court is very interesting, and contains specimens of the
weapons and other articles in use among the native Indians. Four figures represent these people,
and will no doubt attract attention. The Commissioners hope as the season advances, to present
to the public a party of six Indians, who will be placed in a facsimile of their huts, and will be
occupied in basket-making, hammock weaving, &c.,.as in their native land. Arrangements have
been entered into for the exhibition of specimens of gold. This precious metal is found in
considerable quantity in British Guiana, and it is hoped that steps will be taken for the
protection and encouragement of gold mining in the Colony.
The specimens in the Exhibition will give some idea of the variety and excellence of the
timbers of the Colony. Some of them, as Mora and Greenheart, are already well inown in
Europe, where they are used in shipbuilding, and as piles, &c. The resistance shown by some
of these woods to the action of salt or’ fresh water and to the attacks of the teredo render then
of great value, Others are peculiarly fitted for cabinet work, and it is hoped that the Exhibition
may be the means of introducing to the notice of merchants and manufacturers many of these
woods. Every information as to their qualities, uses and supply will be found in the Special
Catalogue; or in the notes appended to the Lists furnished by Messrs Park & Cunningham, who
exhibit a large number of well-selected specimens.
The fibres of British Guiana are comparatively unknown in the European market. Cotton,
which was once largely grown, is no longer cultivated, although the soil is well fitted for its
production.
Many of the fibres shown may take the place of hemp and bast, and it only needs a demand
to call forth a constant supply at low prices. The collection shown is a very large one, and if
any specimens are deemed worthy of examination and trial, the Commissioners will be glad to
supply samples for the purpose. The hammocks, &c., exhibited are evidence of the good qualitics
of the native fibres.
The minerals of British Guiana are not numerous nor of much commercial value, with the
_exception of gold, which exists in considerable quantities. At present, owing to difficulties as to
boundaries, capitalists are unwilling to engage in mining undertakings, but there is no doubt
that with settled boundaries and protection to such enterprises, gold mining would become one of
the most lucrative industries of the Colony. Iron exists in great abundance, but no attempts
have been made to turn it to account.
British Guiana is rich in gums, oils, and barks, and exhibits fine specimens of Gum Animi and
of Ballata, which will be found in its first stage as milk, and in rolls, sheets, &c. This gum.is in
some respects superior to caoutchouc and gutta-percha, A very, exhaustive report on its
collection and properties has been written by Mr. Jenman, the Government Botanist of the
Colony, which is well deserving of perusal. ‘
The “ Gillbacker glue,” which is made into Isinglass, with a specimen of the fish (Silurus
Parkeri) from whence it is obtained, are exhibited. Tonca or Tonquin beans, which are found
in large quantities, are alao shown; as are several kinds of oil. The barks are very numerous,
and it is desirable that their properties should be ascertained. Many are useful for tanning
purposes, and others are employed by the Indians in various cases of illness or accident. To
those who are desirous of making researches into the qualities of these barks, samples will be
readily given on application.
The food produvts comprise the meal and starch of the Cassada, which is the staple food of
the Indian. | Cassareep, which is largely used on account of its antiseptic properties, is als
shown; as are dried plantains and bananas, the former of which is stated to be one of the most

and show that the soil of the Colony is well adapted to their cultivation. Coffee it
is well known, was one of the chief exports of former days, and realized a large price in i
English markets.
The collections illustrative of the natural history of British Guiana will repay inspection, as
will many other exhibits, to which more particular reference cannot be made in this brief notice.
Readers are however reminded that the contents of the British Guiana Court are dealt with a
greater length in the Special Catalogue published by the Commissioners.

BRITISH GUIANA.
For detailed description, see Special Catalogue.
1. Souari (Caryocar tomentosum; Dec.) Its
average height is about 90 ft., and the timber
can easily be got to square 24 in.; it is very
tough and cross-grained. The roots make ex-
cellent floors and futtocks for ship-building,
and can be had sufficiently large to timber a
vessel of large size. The Souari-nut (Butter-
nut), well known in the colony, is the fruit of
this tree,
2. Determa, ‘The average height is about
100 ft., and it can be had to square up to 30 in.
It is used for planking boats, in the construction
of railway carriages, and for many other pur-
poses where a light and strong wood is required.
Determa is also used for the masts and spars of
vessels; the largest spars for these purposes
rocurable in the colony are of this wood, from
0 to 90 ft. long, and 14 in. in diameter at the
smallest end.
3. Kabukalli. It is one of our tallest forest
trees, and grows very straight; its average
height is about 120 ft, and it can be had to
square up to 30 in. free of sap. Kabukalli is
used in boat-building,
4. Tataboo. The average height o
trees is about 80 ft. The wood is dark-colpure
heavy and hard, and well adapted for mill-bed
timbers ; it is also used in boa building, Bouse.

5. Mamoori-Balli. The average height is
about 70 ft., and it can be had to square W6 in,
The wood is tough and hard, and is suitabl& for
house-framing and other work where it will nvt
be exposed to the weather.
6. Pakoorie, The average height is ahout
80 ft., but it is a tree the trunk of which is very
large compared with its height; it can be had
to square up to 36 in. free of sap. When arrived
at rig | this is a very durable wood, and is
used for house-framing and many other pur-
poses,
7. Waibaima. A species of Cirouaballi or
Siruaballi (Nectandra or Oreodaphne). The
wood has a strong aromatic scent and bitter
taste, and is about the best wood in the colony
for planking vessels. Their average height is
about 90 ft., and the timber can be had to
square the large size, 20 to 28 in. For plank-
ing and all other purposes of ship-building this
wood deserves to be classed among the first-
class woods at Lloyd's for ship-building.
8. Kooroo-Balli, or ba Lary (Pentaclethra fila-
mentosa). The average height of this tree in
the forest on the upper parts of the river is
about 60 ft. It can be had to square 10 in. fro
of sap, and is a dark close-grainod wood suit-
able for making furniture.

height of 60 ft. ; it will square up to 29 in.
11. Wallaba, or Bimiti Wallaba (Eperua fal-
cata, Aubl.), grows in loose sandy soil, over
extensive tracts of country, and is a wood known
to every one in the colony. From it frames fur

shingles, both for colonial use and for export
to the neighbouring colonies. These trees aro
all plentiful, and have an average height of
80 ft., and can be had to square 20 in. free of

WEST INDIAN GALLERY.
In order to illustrate as thoroughly as possible the history of the Colonies, whose discovery by
Columbus, in 1492, led to the incaloulably important results by subsequently throwing open to
civilization the vast Continents of America, the Commissioner for the West Indies has endeavoured
to gather together as many objects of interest bearing upon the subject as was. possible.. It was,
of course, found impossible to include in this scheme such extremely valuable treasures as
genuine autographs of Columbus or MS. of his travels, although his immediate descendant, the
Duke of Veragua, most courteously offered toloan several of his great ancestor's relics. For
obvious reasons, it was deemed prudent to decline his Grace’s generosity, Still, the kindness of
many contributors has sufficed to render the Gallery exceedingly interesting, and to them tho
Pricorores, Hisror1cau. Rewics, Books AND
‘ENGRAVINGS.
A Series of Oil Paintings—several of which
are highly interesting from their antiquity,
and also as being works by great masters—
representing those Kings and Queens of
England who have directly figured in the
history of: the West Indies, either by sending
out discoverers, appointing Governors, or by
granting Charters for the development of
their commerce, have been arranged round
the up portion of the walls above the
other pictures, They are:—
Henry VIII., by Holbein.
Robert Rawlinson.
During the younger years of this King’s
life, America was discovered. He watched
with deep interest the great achievements of
the Spanish Discoverer, and even used his best
nnattand to inspire his own people to emulate
them.
Queen Elizabeth, by Frederico Zucchero.
Loaned by Sir R. Rawlinson.
‘ England first turned her attention to the
West Indies in the latter part of this great
Queen’s reign. Discarding the pretensions of
Spain, Elizabeth, if she did not precisely seize
the islands, atleast took moral possession of
them—as Dolby Thomas says in his History of
the West Indian Colonies (1690)—by “letting
loose upon them those sea-lions, Drake,
Raleigh, and Clifford, and many braves that
age produced, and by encouraging them in bold
mieten! like those the Bucanneers practice
—and thereby paving the way to the opening
out of the Continent of America.” This Queen
also sent to the Bahamas its first Governor, Sir
Humphrey Gilbert, in 1578.
James I., by Van Somer,
Graves, of Pall Mall.
It was during the reign of this Kin, that the
Loaned by Sir
Loaned by Mr.
Commissioner takes this opportunity of expressing his sincere thanks.
earliest English settlement was established in
Barbados, and the capital of . that island
assumed his name of Jamestown, subsequently
changed, after the fall of the House of Stuart,
to Georgetown.
Charles I. and his Queen Henrietta, by
Mytens. Loaned by Mr. Graves.
This Monarch sent out several of the earliest
Governors to various Islands which thus
obtained a regular form of Government: and
useful Charters for the better regulation of
commerce and suppression of crime. He was
likewise deeply interested in the establishment
of the first missions of the Established Church.
Charles II, by Sir Peter Lely. _Loaned by
Mr. Graves.
This Monarch took a very practical interest
in the West Indies, and granted several of
them, notably the Bahamas, to a syndicate
formed by George, Duke of Albemarle, Lord
Craven, Sir George Cartaret, John, Lord Berke-
ley, Anthony, Lord Ashley, and Sir Peter
Colleton. He also granted Charters for the
formation of settlements. In his reign the first
regular Government was established in Jamaica.
James II., by Walker. Loaned by Mr.
Graves.
He continued his brother’s line of policy, and
paid great attention to the West Indian
Colonies.
William and Mary, by William Wining.
Loaned by Mr. Graves. ‘
Granted many Privileges to the West Indies,
and a number of missionaries were sent out.
The West Indian Company was established in
this reign.
George I., by Godfrey Kneller, Loaned by
Mr. Graves.
Anquilla and the Virgin Islands’ settled,
Several important Acts were passed for tho
regulation of the slave trade.
896 West Indian Gallery.
George III., by Gainsburgh, R.A. Loaned
by Mr. Graves.
Under the long reign of this King, the West
Indies attained a great and unprecedented
prosperity. In 1808, the slave trade terminated.
uring the reigns of George IV. and William
IV., the emancipation of the slaves was accom-
plished,
In the collection of engravings will be found
portraits of Henry VII. and his Queen, in whose
reign the Islands were discovered.
Nelson, by Abbott. Loaned by Mr. Graves,
He successfully carried out an expedition to
ee against San Juan di Nicaragua in
1776.
Alexandre, Earl of Balcarres. Joaned by
the Earl of Crawford and Balcarres.
The Earl of Balcarres was Governor of
Jamaica from 1795 to 1798. Under his rule
the great rebellion, known as the ‘ maroon,”
was quelled. This picture is appropriately
mn in the Jamaica section, as is also his
sword.
Sir Christopher Hatton. Loaned by Sir
Francis Bolton.
Lord Chancellor of England in the latter
t of Elizabeth’s reign. He was greatly
instrumental in the sending out of “ adven-
turers”—if such men as Raleigh, Drake, and
Hawkins can be so called—and was a zealous
supporter of his Royal Mistress in her schemes
for annexing the West Indian Colonies,
The central portrait is that of Columbus, by
Sir Antonio Moro. This remarkable painting,
the oldest portrait of Columbus known to exist
in England, is at loaned by Mr. Graves,
Its history is as follows: “It was painted by
Mr. sp be | Moro, for Margaret, Governess of
the Netherlands, and was brought to this
country about the year 1590, and has been
the possession of one family until very
recently, when it was purchased by Mr. Cribb,
of King Street, Covent Garden. The character-
istics of the mind and features of Columbus are
so forcibly depicted in this picture, that no
doubt can remain but that it is a true and per-
fect resemblance ot the great navigator.
-. “Diego Columbus, in his Hist del Almirante
Don Chist. Colon. c. 8., says: ‘The Admiral
was @ man well formed, and above the middle
height, his head was large, his cheek bones
rather high, his cheeks neither fat nor lean,
aquiline nose, his eyes small, light blue or ons
with the white parts rather inflamed.’ ‘
Prescott says: ‘He had a majestic presence
with much dignity, and at the same time affa-
bility of manner.’ It has been : frequently
engraved, and forms the frontispiece to the
second edition of the life of Columbus, by
Washington Irving, by special request of that
famous author,
The Pictures are described according to the
Panels upon which they are placed,
First Panel on Left-hand.—At the top aro
four pictures by Mr. Cazabon, representing
Views in Trinidad, The Central picture is a
large water-colour drawing of the “ Triumphal
Entry of Columbus into Barvelona, after tho
discovery of America.” Under it is a smaller
icture called “The Dream of the Young Co-
umbus,” who is here seen reclining upon a rock
looking dreamily towards the horizon, beyond
which he invogined, even at an early age,
existed some unknown land. To the left of
this picture is one ropresenting ‘Columbus
landing in Bahamas, on October 14th, 1492.”
These three brilliant works are by Signor
Olivetti, of Rome, one of the great Fortuny’s
favourite pupils. A water-colour, representing
a“ View in Barbados,” is by Miss M. Tothil,
® Barbados lady, who exhibits several other
admirable works in the Court. She is also the
painter of the picture representing a negress
with a bright red turban on her head. Tho
Trinidad views on the lower line are by Mr.
Cazabon, and the very pretty View in Granada
on the right is by Miss ©. Croome.
Second Panel on Left hand.—Here are three
views in Granada by iss Croome, and five in
Trinidad by Mr. Carpenter, an artist whose
works are as reper pepwar in England as
they are in America. In the centre is an oil
ainting of Nassau. It is by the celebrated
ierstadt, who has many winters in the
Bahamas. The “Roadside Scene in Barba-
dos” is by Miss M. Tothil, who also painted
‘“‘Half-Moon Bay, Barbados.” The large
ietore at the top is a view in Bahamas by Mrs,
ake,
The Central Panel. —In the centre is an
immense painting of “ A Wave breaking upon
the Bahamas Coast.” The transparency of the
water, the brilliance of the colouring, and the
perfection of every detail reflects greatly upon
the exceptional powers of the artist, Mr. Bier-
stadt. On the left isa portrait of Sir Chris-
topher Hatton, and on the right one of Nelson.
Two pictures representing “ Humming Birds”
are by Miss Goldworthy, and two others repre-
senting “ Orchids” are by Mrs. C. Ross.
On the Third Panel are seven. views in
Trinidad, by Mr. Cazabon, ‘‘ A West Indian
Sentinel,” by Miss M. Tothil, and a “ Viow
in Granada,” by Miss Croome. The centre
pies is a “Scene on the coast of Bahamas,”
y Mr. Bierstadt. A picture representing the
‘“Queen’s Garden, Barbados,” 1s by Miss
Tothil, as is also a delightful representation of
a ‘Scene in Barbados.” The large picture
above, representing a view in Nassau, is by
Mrs, Blake.
The Fourth Panel contains two portraits, one

The Diego Ribero Map, loaned by the
8. Congregation of Propaganda Fide, Rome, by
permission of His Holiness Pope Leo XIII, is
a document of gst archeological value. It
measures 7 ft. by 3 ft. in width, and is on
parchment.
The drawing is very perfect and beautiful,
being the work of Diego Ribero, geographer {o
Charles V., and was executed by him at Seville
in 1529. According to tradition, it was com-
menced either in 1494 or 1503, and only fin-
ished in 1529, so as to include the latest dis-
coveries, It is reported to be the earliest com-
plete map of the world in existence. Down the
centre passes a slight line dividing the newly
found lands between Spain and Portugal. This
is a repetition of the famous divisional line
traced by Alexander VI. in 1494.
Although the map is full of absurd inaccura-
cies, it is nevertheless singularly clear for the
early period in which it was produced. The
West Indies are shown with much precision,
their names being given with considerable
elaboration. America, on the other hand, is
barely indicated, the coast alone being drawn.
Africa is introduced with the Nile wandering
down to three lakes, situated just above
what is now known as the Cape Colony. As
a specimen of the early geographer’s science,
and a record of the first year of American dis-
covery, it is of the greatest value. The Congre-
gation of Propaganda also sends a small statis-
tical atlas, and an engraving of the celebrated
brass map of Marco Polo, the original of which
is included in the magnificent collection left
to this famous institution by the late Cardinal
Borgia.

STONE IMPLEMENTS.
THnovanovur the West Indies and British Honduras, and, indeed ~* ~ver both Americas, flint
and stone weapons and implements have been discovered in great . ince, They differ very
little in shape from those which have been found in Europe. A great number of them have
been found in British Honduras, a country which still offers marvellous ruins and remains of a
great but hitherto lost history and civilization to the acheological student. Some of those
which have been kindly lent to the Exhibition seem, judging from their sizes, to have been
used as sacrificial knives, as it is thought was the well-known specimen with handles, which is
preserved in the British Museum. Others made of blue flint aro formed with shanks for their
attachment to the stem or handle, from two to three inches long. Among those which are
exhibited are some so small and delicately shaped as to give rise to tho belief that they were
originally used as arrow heads. It is almost impossible to fix the precise date when these imple-
ments were made, The evidences concerning the early civilization of the West Indies and of
Central America are most conflicting.
The splendid ruins of colossal buildings, the remains of charming frescoes, and the delicate
tracery of the sculpture, which have been found all over Central America, prove beyond question
that the civilization which they illustrate was exceedingly adv 1d, and quite justifies Mr.
Henry Fowler, who has studied with so much profit the antiqui ’ British Honduras, in his
remark: “That a peoplo must surely excite our wonder ana u. tion, whose knowledge of
astronomy enabled them to measure the true length of the year, within two minutes and nine
seconds, at a time when our own calendar was more than ten days in fault. Their sculpture is
worthy to be compared to the most beautiful works of the Augustan age. Their civilization
rivalled that of Europe in the middle ages, although it was doubtless degraded by human
sacrifices, such as have occurred, however, among the most advanced nations. Nor must it be
forgotten that their traditions of the Deluge came infinitely nearer to that of the Bible and
Chaldean religion than those of any people of the Old World.”
Sir Graham Briggs has kindly sent a number of unpolished Indian stone implements found
in Barbados and the other islands, and also a collection of some which have been very carefully
polished, likewise discovered in the same islands.
A Collection of Carib Stone Implements,| One hundred and twelve Carib Chisels, cut
found in St. Kitts, Nevis, Antigua, Dominica, | from Conch Shells, from Barbados, by Sir
St. Lucia, and St. Vincent. Graham Briggs.
A number of highly interesting fragments of } Stone and Conch Carib Implements, by the
‘Pottery, &c., found in British Honduras, Right Rev. Bishop of Antigua.
In order to fully illustrate the Flora of the West Indies—indigenous and acclimatised—
Mrs. Blake, the accomplished wife of the Governor of the Bahamas, has most kindly painted,
expressly for the Exhibition, & series of 104 large water-colour drawings, copied from nature.
These drawings are nearly all life-size; they are very carefully finished, and are, for the moat
part, correct botanical studies and faithful representations of the plants they illustrate, besides
being artistically beautiful. Mrs. Blake, in the majority of her pictures, shows us the plant, its
foliage, fruit, and flowers. Sometimes she adds, as a background, a landscape; and now and
then she has included one or two specimens of insects, butterflies and moths.

estates speak of. the thronging hopes, realisations, and disappointments of that prosperous era.
The abolition of slavery, the equalisation of the sugar duties, were sudden blows from which
Jamaica, like the rest of the West India Islands, is hardly yet recovering.. With the decay of wealth
came a certain decay of political strength; where the whole system was oligarchical, a govern-
ment by an oligarchy, based on the British representative system, was in accordance with reason;
when the old oligarchy tottered, agitators and jobbers got into the House of Assembly. In 1865
the riota for a moment recalled the rebellion of 1831-2. In a panic, the House of Assembly was
induced , to vote away its existence. Crown Government stepped in. -Its results have lately
been dubjected to fierce attack ; but no fair critic can deny that under it, in the last twenty years,
Jamaica has made considerable strides towards reguining its place amongst British possessions.
In 1882 the 1 matter of the Florence vote produced an agitation which ended in a reform of the
constitution and a partial restoration of the representative system. All friends of the Colony
have hailed this with pleasure, and look to the wisdom and moderation of her elective Gouneil
to justify the concessions made by the Queen.
_ Kingston, the capital of the island, with 40,000 inhabitants, is situated on one of the finest har-
bours in the West Indies, When, some twenty years hence perhaps, the Panama Canal is opened,
this land-locked water may become one of. the great coaling stations of the world. Its probable
compétitor will be the harbour of Castries in St. Lucia, Kingston is the seat of Government,
the residence of the governor being four miles out on the slopes of the hills. The old capital
Spanish ‘Town is a picturesque but sleepy town, some thirteen miles away, inland. There are
thirteen ports of entry besides Kingston; St. Ann’s, Falmouth, and Savanna-le-Mar are the
chief. . There are a number of good trunk roads; vastly improved of late, which make a regular
and excellent postal service practicable, The telegraph is spreading over the island. A railway
owned and managed by government has lately been extended to points which will tap the richest

districts. An effort was made by Sir J. P. Grant to introduce the Indian system of irrigation,
but the Rio Cobre works have so far been a burden on the Colony, and the scheme for the irriga-
tion of the otherwise splendid plain of Vere has been completely damped. There is no doubt
much to be done still; but all credit is due to those who have done so much.
The agricultural lands fall into two great divisions: the sugar estates to the south and east,
the pens or grazing farms, interspersed with pimento trees, to the north and west. Sugar is the
greatest single industry of the island; its rum is still the best in the world; no coffee can beat
that of the Blue Mountains; but low prices are draggling all those industries, and a silent
revolution has gradually been substituting a new economic system. The negroes, who have been
increasing in numbers with eome rapidity, are acquiring small holdings, and making very good use
of them. Much of the fruit is grown by these men, and fruit for the American market is forming
yearly a more important export. Mangoes—the prince of West Indian fruits, — oranges,
bananag, and cocoanuts form the chief growth. A good deal of coffee is also grown by them,
but very little, we fancy, finds its way out of the country. ‘Tobacco has been successfully grown,
but the curing is a failure. On the heights of the Blue Mountains the Government Botanical
Department, under Mr. Morris, has very successfully grown and cured cinchona ; but the industry
of quinine-producing can hardly be called a “ going concern” as yet. The pimentos of St. Ann's
give quantities of allspice. The trade in dye-woods is considerable, logwood and fustic being
the chief. The primeval forests of Jamaica have too generally disappeared, and forest conser.
vation is become a pressing question. There is. still however a great deal of woodland on the
hills, and some of the timber is fine, while the beauty of such wocis as mahoe and yacca
surpasses anything known to English cabinet-makers. In the capital there are three or four
factories; one for soap, one for matches, and, the most germane to the country, one or two
for preserving fruits and turtle. The operations of the last in particular are worthy of every
effort to improve them, whilo the room for improvement is considerable.
The future of sugar production depends on the breakdown of the continental bounty
system, together with improved process of manufacture. There are districts in Jamaica which
stand behind none in the world. Two good usines in the Plantain Garden River would soon
become celebrated in the London market. Vere must have artificial irrigation before it can pay,
A great deal of the soil in Jamaica has been overworked; therefore clumsy modes of cultivation
can no longer pay. On choosing situation and soil for each particular product, whether coffee,
cocoa, tobacco, cinchona, much of the ultimate success will depend. Much happiness, many
moderate profits can still be secured in Jamaica. The days of vast fortunes are probably past;
but it is so with most of the world.
The Colony finds its market as much in New York as Great Britain; though the most regula
communication is now with Southampton. A short time back the Atlas steamers, under
subsidy, kept a regular communication with the States. It was thought that without a subsidy
the result would be the same, but the regularity of tie service is lost. For the fruit trae
it is most important to preserve this regular communication, and there should be little difficulty
in arranging regular calls and ready cargoes. Highteen days is rather a long journey for fruit
to England; but the Royal Mail Company have steamers that can do the journey two or thre
days quicker, and the steamers of the future should reduce the time still further. Perhap,
however, Jamaica caa leave the future supply of the fruit market of Great Britain to the sister
colonies to the east of her.
Why do not people try Jamaica as a winter health resort? A voyage from the fogs of thy
Channel over a tropic sea has both romance and health. In Necember and January no one cil
complain of excessive heat; while in eighteen days you can leave winter behind and WW
sitting at night in a moonlit verandah, with the hum of the sugar-mill at work below, or in ti
daytime amongst the tropical flowers and trees, with humming birds flitting over the purl
Boganvillia. And there are no venomous snakes or dangerous beasts.
The population of Jamaica by last census, was 580,000, being an increase of 73,650 durim
the previous ten years. Of these there are: whites, 14,482; coloured, 109,946; black, 444,19
the remainder being coolies and Chinese.
The value of the exports during the year 1885, was £1,408,848: of the imports £1,487,

In Jamaica two very distinct classes of coffee
are produced. The total export is about
84,000 cwt. per annum. Of this, about 10,000
cwt. is “¢ Blue Mountain Coffee” of the finest
quality, consigned almost entirely to the Liver-
pool market, where it sells from 100 to 142s.
per cwt. The remaining portion of Jamaica
coffee is grown: chiefly by negro settlers, is
badly cured, and hence fetches comparatively
low prices.

It may be mentioned that there are no large
forests in Jamaica from whence quantities of
cheap building timber can be obtained, There
are, however, choice cabinet and fancy woods,
which might be obtained in appreciable quan-
tities; and the immerse variety of articles auch
as knife-handles, knobs, buttons, &c., which are
now manufactured from choice-grained woods,
opens a ready market to some of the best and
most costly of Jamaica woods. Many of these
woods, as may be seen at the Indian and
Colonial Exhibition, are of surpassing elegance.

The bamboo (Bambusa vulgaris) is generally
distributed in Jamaica. In a crusted state it
is exported for fibre’ and paper-making. Ma-
teriul for walking sticks is abundant. ‘The
wild cane (Arunda occidentalis) possesses roots
of very grotesquo shapes and forms which
might-be utilized for umbrella and sun-shade
handles. Of these roots large quantities are
easily obtainable at a moderate cost.

Dye woods, such as logwood, fustic ani
sappan wood, are exported from Jamaica to tho
vate of about £100,000 annually. Logwood
was introduced from British Honduras in 1715,
and since that time has spread spontaneously
in the lowlands, especially in the neighbourhood
of sugar estates, so that now the exports of
logwood from Jamaica exceed those of British
Honduras,

Cacao.
Cacao, or chocolate, is made from the cured
beans or seeds of a tree (Theobroma cacao). In
connection with the development of the fruit
trade in Jamaica, cacao is receiving great atten-
tion, and A arnt are being established
under the shade of the banana trees, ‘To yiold
fine cacao, the beans require to be fermented
and carefully cured. On the manner. with
which these processes are performed, depends
entirely.the quality of the.cacao, During. the
last three years, owing to better preparation, the
price of Jamaica cacao, has tisen about 16 per
cent,; and, if systematic attention is paid to
the curing of this article, planters Diay oxpeéct a
considerable increase ‘on the present: market
value, Many years ago, Long, the: historian,
made the following remarks with re to
cacao :—*“ This tree once grew so plentifully in
Jamaica, that the inhabitants flattered them-
selves it would become the source cf inexhaust-
ible wealth to them ; in 1671 there were forty-
five walks in bearing, and many new ones in
cultivation; but some years afterwards. they
were all destroyed at once, as it is said, by a
| blast, which pervaded the whole island; so
,| that they were never afterwards
recovered ;, and!
ut present there are but few.” The number of
cacao plantations at present is about ten: but
several smaller ones are being established, and
it is hoped shortly to find Jamaica cacao in the
London market in large quantities.

Numerous plants ore found in Jamaica ca
ble of yielding valuable fibre, and considerable Roy:
interest is being taken in the results of systematic
trials undertaken by a committee appointed by
government, to test the capabilities of certain
machines driven by steam power:in the prepara-
tion of fibres on a commercial scale: Experi-
ments have been carried on during the’last few
yoats. beginning with.a machine invented by a
local engineer, Mr. James Kennedy, called the
“Bureka” machine, and continued with a
machine known as “Smith. Patent,” manu-
factured Ly Death and Ellwood, Leicester,
England, now the property of the Universal
Fibre Company, London.. The result of these
trials have been publishei in the Jamaica
Gazette, and although not quite so. satisfactory
as was expected, still point to the fact that: a
fibre industry in Jamaica carried on in a
systematic manner must prove highly remu-
nerative. Should a fibre industry be established
in Jamaion, it will be necessary. to cultivate the
plants on a large scale. Many of these plants,
such as the silk grass or henequen (Furcrea
cubensis), the bowstring hemp (Sanseviera)
and the China grass or Ramie (Behmeria nivea)
are sufficiently abundant to supply plants to
establish large aroas at once,

TRINIDAD.
Tutxrpap is the most southern of the chain of islands lying between the Atlantic Ocean and tho
Caribbean Sea. It is situated to the eastward of Venezuela, between 10° 8’ and 10° 50’ N.
latitude, and 61° 39’ and 62° of W. longitude from Greenwich, and has an area of 1,754 square
miles.
It was on Trinity Sunday (Slst July, 1496) that Columbus, then on his third voyage, first
sighted the island, to which, when taking possession of it in the name of the Sovereigns of Spain,
he gave a name at once commemorative of the dato of its discovery and indicative of the Faith of
ita discoverers,
For nearly a century subsequent to that eventful day the history of the island is involved in
obscurity. The little that is known is contained in the chronicles of the Dominican monks who
accompanied the Conquistadores, and presents but little of interest to general readers.
In 1584, or thereabouts, Don Antonio de Berro y Orufa, the founder of Spanish Guyana,
made Trinidad his headquarters and built the city of San José de Orufia, about six miles from
the coast of the Gulf of Paria. This town (which remained the capital of the island until a few
years before its capture by the British) was burnt by Sir Walter Raleigh in 1695.
From that date until 1781 the Colony can hardly be said to have made any progress, as the
following data will prove.
In 1738 there were but 162 male adults in the island, and of these only 28 were whites.
This return does not include either the Indians or the slaves. The Revenue of the Colony was
231 dollars—-not quite £48 sterling.
In 1781 M. Roume de St. Laurent, a French planter of Grenada, when on a visit to the
island, was struck with its extraordinary resources, and he conceived a plan for inducing foreign
immigrants to settle in the Colony, a thing hitherto prohibited by the law of Spain, and went
firat to Caracas and subsequently to Madrid to obtain for his scheme the sanction of the Spanish
Government. In this he was successful, and in November, 1783, what was called a “ Cedula” of
population was signed by the King of Spain. The carrying out of this important measure was
entrusted to Don José Maria Chacon, who was destined to be the last; of the Spanish Governors
of Trinidad. Its immediate result was a great influx of population from the old French Islands,
to which afew years later a fresh impetus was given by the events in those Colonies which were
caused by the French Revolution.
The following figures will give some idea of the great changes which were brought about by
the Cedula of 1783. In that year the population of the Colony consisted of :—
Whites . ; , ‘ ‘ ; F r ° ‘ 126
Free coloured . 5 ; ‘ ‘ . ’ ‘ i 295
Slaves . . ° > ‘ > ’ ; ° . 310
Indians . ; + : ; ; i ; ~ « 2,082
Total - 2,763
Fourteen yeara later, in 1797, the population was thus classified :—

Indians . . A . ° ° . ° ° 1,078

Previous to 1788 the whole trade of the island had been carried on by one small vessel of
about 150 tons burthen, which came two or three times a year from the Dutch Island of St

return cacao, vanilla, indigo and cotton. on
Between 1784 and 1797 the average yearly tonnage was from 7,000 to 8,000 tons, and in 1802
it rose to 15,000 tons. (The total tonnage entered and cleared at the ports of the Colony in 1885
was 1,069,121 tons.) q
It was early in 1797 that the capture of Trinidad was effected. On the 16th February of
that year a fleet of 18 vessels, carrying 740 guns, under the command of Admiral Harvey, sailed
, into the Gulf of Paria. In addition to this formide.ble force there were on board 6,750 troops
-and tho under Sir Ralph Abercromby.
° 50’ N. There were in the barbour four Spanish vessels, carrying 258 guns, and having on board
4 equare 700 troops. The crews of these vessels, as well as the troops, were however so reduced by fever
as to be of little use to the small garrison which Chacon had at his command, and after
wi firet few shots had been exchanged he surrendered, the capitulation being signed on the following i
of Spain, ay.
) Faith of Sir Ralph Abercromby appointed Lieutenant-Colonel (afterwards the famous Sir Thomas)
Picton to be the first English Governor of ‘Trinidad, a difficult and dangerous post, which he
volved in filled for six years with great advantage to the Colony.
onks who Trinidad was finally ceded to Great Britain at the Treaty of Amiens, but not without great
Opposition on the part of Napoleon, then First Consul, who saw the immense advantage to a
| Guyana, commercial nation :ike England which would accrue from the possession of an island which, from
niles from its geographical position, could command the trade of the great rivers of South America, and
ntil a few possessing a harbour in which could ride in safety throughout the year the mercantile fleets of
the world, A slight notion of what this trade might be may be formed from the fact that during
ess, 08 the the first five years after the capture of the island articles of British manufacture to the value of if
1,000,000 dollars were sold annually by the merchants of Trinidad to the traders from Venezuela nah: |
i ae alone. This was the recognized trade, but a far larger one was carried on clandestinely, as is ae
Jolon:
proved by the fact that Colonel Picton reported to the Secretary of State that Spanish launches iF
ne annually carried away from Trinidad articles of British manufacture to the value of 8,000,000
isit to the dollars.
asides Unfortunately for Trinidad the fears of the future Emperor of the French were not realized,
er ee and Trinidad was fated to be looked upon by British statesmen merely as a sugar-producing
Colony.
Dedula Tt was even placed at a disadvantage in that respect, passing as it did under British rule just mi
yes at the moment when the eloquence of Wilberforce and his followers was awakening men’s minds ie.
h Islands to the iniquities of the African slave trade, and it was therefore decided to treat the newly- H
sys aaa acquired Colony as a field of experiment in which should be tried the proposed innovations upon nH i}
the Colonial system. nf
bout b In spite of this, Trinidad, under its various Governors—and vspecially under the firm ie
aac and enlightened rule of Sir Ralph Woodford, which lasted from 1818 to 1829—prospered and ile
progressed. }
Like all the other British Colonies, it suffered from the results of Emancipation, and was
brought to the verge of ruin in 1844; Lord Harris, who was then Governor of the Colony, felt
that nothing but prompt and energetic measures could save it. Coolie immigration had just been ;
commenced, but it was by his exertions, ably seconded by Mr. C. W. Warner, O.B., then ii
Attorney-General of the island, that this important measure was pressed on and the system ale
firmly established. It has continued until the present day, and although not unattended with :
terious difficulties, has undoubtedly been of inestimable benefit to the Colony. That which,
however, has saved Trinidad, more particularly of late years, from the disastrous results of the
low prices of the principal West Indian product, is the fact that it does not depend upon one
branch of industry alone.
Sugar is, of course, the chief staple, and when that suffers all other industries feel the effects ;
but owing to the bold and enlightened course pursued by Sir Arthur Gordon when Governot of ;
this Colony from 1867 to 1870 an impetus was given to the cultivation of cacao and other minor tee
11 vessel of industries by calling into legal existénce a body of small proprietors who had hitherto been he

by slave labour against the opening. up of Crown lands to small. owném, the policy inaugurated
by Sir Arthur Gordon and carried on by his successors has held its own, and, tha consequence has
been that during the recent’ hard times: the middle and. lower classes have barely felt:the pressure,
The trade with the Spanish Main, though by: no means so flourishing as it ought to be, has. also
been of great assistance to the Colony, and served to maintain its credit.
It may fairly be predicted that as Trinidad becomes better known its wonderful reaources will
be utilized, and possibly another. Roume de St, Laurent may be founth to sapenh the experiment
which was so successful 100 yearaago. |
In spite of its situation, the climate of Trinidad i is healthy andi not: in the |‘ kdast injurious
to Europeans, provided always that:they: will take ordinary precautions and: be abstemious in
their habits. ‘The mean temperature may.be stated at 76° Kahrenheit during the cool season
and 79°. Fahrenheit inthe hotiseason. Its aoil.is extremely fertile and suited to various kinds of
cultivation. Sugar and, cacao are its staples.; coffee is alao cultivated, and, were there. but a
sufficient labouring population, would, as well as tobacco, become of great value to the Colony.
Cocoanuts are alao largely. grown, and were it not: for tha scarcity. of labour would: be. extremely
profitable. !
One of the most remarkable features of the island is the Pitch Lake, which is some. 90 acres
in extent, and which, although giving but. a comparatively slight income to the island, is yet
indirectly a source of great wealth.
The total. area of Trinidad is about, 1,120, 000 acres, Of: this, according’ to. the. dpdeticeent of

BARBADOS.
Barsavos, the most windward of the Caribbee Islands, is situated in lat, 13° 4’ N, and long, 59°
87’ W. It is 21 miles long and 14 in breadth, and contains 166 square miles, somewhat of
the shape of the Isle of Wight, It is a little smaller, but, unlike the “Garden of England,” is
situated in mid-ocean. First visited by the Portugese at an unknown date, it was named by
them “Los Barbados,” from the number of bearded fig-trees or banyans which were found
growing, there. It was reported to be totally uninhabited, which was not the cage, though few
if any of the aborigines remained when the English took possession in the year 1605. Ina
Fronch map of the world of the date of 1536 it appears under the name of “ Bernados,” and
in subsequent documents or maps it was called ‘ Barbudos,” “ Bernados,” “ Barnodo,” “S.
Barduda,” “S, Barbudos,” and “ Los Barbudos.”
James I. made a grant of the Island to the Earl of Marlborough, and the first English
goveruor was appointed to this, the oldest British colony, in the year 1625, From that date the
island has never been severed from England, and although from time to time there have been
internal dissensions, it has never undergone the vicissitudes of its nefg’bcurs. nor suffered from
foreign invasion. Two years later Charles I, granted all the Caribbes ‘slands, including
Barbados, to the Earl of Carlisle, who compounded for £300 per anuuw with the Earl of
Marlborough for his claim. Shortly afterwards, being absent from England, Lord Carlisle’s
patent was revoked in favour of the Earl of Pembroke, but again restored to him on his return.
A considerable number of settlers had by this time established themselves, making clearings in
the forests, which, with the exception of a few savannahs, or as they were locally called,
champion grounds, covered the whole Island. They cultivated tobacco, cotton, indigo, and
sugar,” and owned slaves, but the hardships of early colonial life were increased by a petty civil
war entered into by the followers. of the governors who had been appointed by the various
claimants to the Island. The downfall of Charles I. brought a large influx of Royalists with
their families and possessions to take shelter in the Island, which still had a Royalist governor,
and this influx contributed greatly to people and enrich the Island, and gave a tone to the tastes
and manners of its inhabitants which is still plainly discernible. It is recorded that in the
seventeenth century, before the combined effects were felt of the Navigation Act, the rivalry
of Jamaica, and the growth of the French plantations, Barbados was “the moat populous, rich,
and industrious spot on the earth.”
The Commonwealth took over the Island in 1651, and. held it for eleven years, until the
restoration of Charles II., when the various patent-holders brought forward their claims, to
satisfy which a duty of 44 per cent. on all exports was imposed, the proprietary government
dissolved and the sovereignty of Barbados annexed to the British Crown. In spite of protest, the
export duty of 44 per cent. was continued until the year 1838, four years after the abolition of
slavery.
From the above brief sketch it may readily be understood that Barbados shortly became,
not so much a colony as a piece of the Mother Country which had been transplanted. In the
year 1629 the Island. was divided into six parishes, and in 1645 into eleven as now, which were,
with the exception of Christ Church, each named after a patron saint, Saint George ‘of course
being one. The Estates were mostly called after their original proprictors, and have not changed
since on the sea coast are met old familiar names, such as Hastings, Worthing, and Whitehaven.
Although by the grant of Charles I. to the Earl of Carlisle the people were invested with
all the liberties, franchises, and privileges of English subjects, the earlier governors ruled the
Island absolutely, aided by a servile council appointed by themselves. It was not until the
* At first the sugar cane was only cultivated for the purpose of brewing a refteshing drink, In 1640 a Dutchman
from Brazil taught the secret of allowing the cane to ripen, and of boiling the juice, At: the same time the planters

year 1645 that ‘a constitution was created, when a law was passed which enacted that none of
the laws then existing should be' altered, nor anything added to them without the consent’ of
the Governor, Council and Freeholders out. of: évery! parish, entitled “A General Assembly,”
andthat every: parish should have two representatives, at least, elected: by the freeholders. The
number ofi the Assembly was at first twenty-two, but later two more were added for the city of
Bridgetown: Until. comparatively recently the members of the Legislature also exercised
executive and judicial functions, and with the exception of the separation of these, tho
Conatitution as originally framed has scarcely been altered. The Colony may now be described
as possessing! representative institutions, but not responsible government, in which the Crown
has rio: more than a veto on legislation, but the Homa Government retains the appointment and
control of public officers, The Government, consists of a Governor, aided by an Executive
Council, a Legislative Council, consisting of nine members: appointed by the Queen, and a
House of Assembly, having twenty-four members elected: annually on the: basis af a very low
franchise. The Executive Council consists.of the officer commanding the. troops, the Colonial
Secretary, Attorney-General, and such other: persons as Her Majesty may be pleased to appoint.
The Executive part of the Government, corresponding to the Ministry, consists of the Governor
and members ‘of the Executive Council, one member of the Legislative Council, and four
members of the House of Assombly, nominated apnually by the Governor, This body is called:
the Executive Committee, and has charge of all Government Institutions, introduces money,
votes, prepares the estimates, and initiates Government meagures.
The Island is of coral formation, and its successive lines of cliffs show variovs upheavals,
Its highest hill is Mount Hillaby, which has an altitude of 1,145 feet, A lite of hills runs
throughout the Island from north to south; these are intersected in all directions by deep and
precipitous canons, called ravines or gullys, and exhibit at times extremely bold and picturesque
scenery. ‘The origin of these ravines has puzzled many, as the mountain streams have not
sufficient force to cut their way through the rock, but it is probable that they may be accounted
for in the following’ manner :—A deep’ top stratum of coral rock rests upon a sub-stratum of
clay; the coral holds the rain-fall like a sponge, and by gravitation gradually gives it off upon
the clay; here the water runs together and constitutes subterranean streams of considerable
volume, ~“hich make their own way on the top of the clay and form caverns. The roofs of the
caverns from time to time fallin, and the debris are washed away by the stream until at length
the cavern is laid open to the sky and becomes a ravine. Several such subterranean streams
are known, the largest being in what is known as the Bowmanston cave. This cave was
accidentally discovered by the sinking of a well, which, on reaching a depth of 200 feet, picreed
acavity in the rock. The only way of entry is by descending the well in a bueket, by which
means several exploring parties of a scientific character have, during the last few years, made
careful examination of the cavern and its streams with a view to its utilization as a water
supply. ‘This work is attended with great labour and some little danger, on account of the
masses of debris fallen and still falling from the roof. The volume of the stream has been
measured in the dry season and in the wet, and is estimated to yield from something under two
to fully five millions of gallons per diem, yet it is not known where this stream has its origin,
nor whither it flows. It is at an altitude of nearly 400 feet above sea level,
The variety of products which were grown during the carlier days has gradually given way
to sugar, and at the present time, out of a total acreage of 106,470 acres, an area of 100,000
acres is devoted to canes, the greater part of the remainder being taken up by roads, buildings
and ravines, Of the acres devoted to canes, a certain portion is planted and reaped every year,
The remainder is given a short rest, and is planted with what is called an “ offal” crop, that is
to say, sweet potatoes, or other roots, or maize. ‘This crop is sold if the prices are high, but just
as often ploughed in.’ The cultivation of the cane itself has been brought nearly to perfection,
and the farming is high, consisting greatly of spade work, The manutucture of the sugar,
however, is capable of great improvement, the chief want being centralization. At present each
estate of a few hundred acres makes its own sugar, frequently with the aid of an old-fashioned
windmill, so that the farmer is also manufacturer; and though admirable as the former, for
any reasons, the chief being want of capital, he faily as the latter. The Colony is particularly
adapted to the establishment of central factories. During the present low prices of sugar,
attention might well be turned to other products. ‘Tobacco for instance is indigenous, and the
439 Barbados. ee
common species spring up whenever there is a vacant spot of land, especiilly on the sites of old
houses ; with a little care it can be cultivated at a fair profit. Roots, valuable for the starches
they yield, give a heavy return. Arrowroot produces about 10,000 pounds of roots to the acre,
giving 2,000 pounds of starch. Cassava and yams produce 8,000 pounds to the acre, sweet
potato 30,000 pounds, while the ground or pea nut yields about 2,000 pounds. Experiments are
now being made with fibrous plants such ag cactus and silk grass. All these as well as ginger
could bo profitably cultivated.
The teeming population, averaging 1,031 to the square mile, and increasing yearly in spite
of emigration, while contributing to the wealth of the Colony and two the excellence of its
cultivation, require an abundant and cheap food supply. The average price of the nutritious
roots mentioned above is, for sweet potatoes, from 3d. to 1d., and for yams 1d. to 1}d. per pound.
Sweet potatoes are always in season, as are also bananas, which sell for about four a penny.
Six and a quarter million pounds of American salt fish is annually consumed, costing by retail
about 14d. per pound, while the local fisheries furnish an inexhaustible supply. In the fishing
industry, 366 boats are engaged, averaging two to three tons burden, and having a crew of three
to four men. It is estimated that about 1,500 persons obtain their liv:g thereby, and that the
annual value of the fish is about £17,000 sterling. The most important of all kinds is the flying
fish. These in appearance are similar to herrings, though smaller, and like them swim in shoals.
Their season commences in November, and lasts about seven months, and the method of taking
them is simple in the extreme. The boats set out very early in the morning and return in the
afternoon. As soon as a few flying fish rise out of the water near the boat, the sails and. masta
are taken down and the boat allowed to drift; a bag containing rotten fish pounded up is let
down into the water over the bow, the oil from this makes a calm and attracts the fish, which
are simply scooped in with large landing nets. When the take is good, the number of fish
caught is simply limited by the capacity of the boat, and boats have been known to sink from
overloading. A few hours after the boats reach land the fish become exceedingly cheap, selling
for about five or six pounds weight for a penny, and sometimes even less. Attempts are being
made to preserve them and put them up after the manner of herrings.
The flying fish season is succeeded by that of sea eggs, which are dived for at a depth some:
times of six fathoms. The part eaten is only the roe, and but little is obtained from each
urchin ; their vast quantities, however, furnish a rich and nutritious return, Besides the above,
enormous red fish, grouper and other kinds are taken by deep sea fishing with lines, and
lobsters and cray fish along the shore. These cheap means of obtaining food, the habit of
wearing boots only on Sunday, the scant quantity of clothes and firing necessary, render the
agricultural labourer comfortable on his small wage, the ruling rate of which is one shilling per
diem for men and tenpence for women.
The West Indies have of late years been more and more frequently chosen for a winter
resort, and offer many attractions. In Barbados the living is cheap, and almost every comfort
and luxury can be obtained. ‘There are several hotels, or a private house can be taken; while a
large hotel on the American system is nearly completed, and is expected to be shortly opened.
Carriages can be hired by the hour or jobbed by the month. Safe bathing in the most perfectly
transparent water is provided by bathing-houses built over the sea, Churches are numerous, The
temperature from December to June is moderate, with delightfully cool mornings and evenings,
and, although Barbados does not present the tropical luxuriance of growth and grandeur
of most of the West Indian Islands, the roads are numerous and, excellent for driving, ani
the gardens filled with hot-house shrubs and flowers growing to a perfection unknown in
England.
Barbados has well sustained its early reputation. Its people are industrious and prosperous
and quick to see the direction in which their interests lie. This trait has led to the establish
ment of life and fire insurance, railway, tramway, water and gas companies, while almost every
house of any size near the town has its telephone. The geographical situation of the Island and
its general healthiness lead to many advantages, causing it to be the headquarters of the troops
and of the Royal Mail Steam Packet and other lines of mail steamers.
A former resident, General Christopher Codrington, founded in the year 1710 a college
called by his name; it is the only institution in the West Indies where a university education call
be obtuined, The college is now connected with the University of Durham, and its students ar

eligible for all the degrees, Much attention is paid to education in all grades, there being two
schools of a high class with university men os masters, one in town and the other in the
country. Boys from the larger and older of these have frequently won scholarships at the
English universities.
The Church of England in Barbados has not been disestablished, but the principle of con-
current endowment adopted. The bishopric was founded in 1824, and thirty-eight incumbencies,
as well as the bishop, are supported by the State.
Finally, crimes of violence are rare, and the people are happy and contented, and well
satisfied with themselves, their island, and their form of government.

THE WINDWARD ISLANDS.
Tuts group now includes tho islands of Grenada, St. Lucia, St. Vincent, and Tobago,
containing an aggregate of 622 square miles, and thorefore not the size of Glamorganshire,
Barbados has lately been separated from them and formed into a separate Government. They
are presided over by a Governor in Chief, who resides in Grenada, as the seat of government,
the other islands having a resident administrator. Each island has its separate legislature, laws
and tariff. They may thus be described as a pseudo-confederate government, being one for
purposes of external policy, although of course not a supreme government.
Last year they were consulted by the Home Government as to their desire to enter into a
complete. union, and decided to remain as they were. What is urgently required is that they
should be one towards the outside world, in tariffs, trade regulations, and commercial policy
generally. And as coon as this can be done for all the West Indies the better for those
possessions. ,

GRENADA.
Thia beautiful little island has been of late the solace of West Indian administration.
It is considered par excellence the island of the peasant proprietor; and a steadily increasing
revenue has testified to their growing prosperity, Many people think it the most beautiful of
West Indian islands; it certainly has portions which cannot be surpassed; our ride through
its cocoa plantations and bur* was one of the pleasantest pieces of West Indian experiences:
and in our diary we find the words—“ This seems to be the land of sunsets.”
Originally settled by the French as a private speculation, it was surrendered in 1762 to the
English, reconquered for a time, but finally ceded to Great Britain at the peace of Versailles.
It possesses a good but confined harbour, which is capable of improvement, but not under

built on it, is probably the hilliest town in the West Indies, which is saying a good deal.
St. Pierre and St. Thomas certainly are not nearly so inconvenient. The population is largely

deal English or old Carib name predominates.
It is constantly stated that sugar in Grenada is a moribund industry. This may be strong
of an article which contributes one-tenth of the revenue in excise duty and one-twelfth of the
exports, The meaning is that sugar estates are everywhere giving way to the cocoa and spice;
and certainly the sugar estates were marked by dilapidated works and houses whose glory had
departed ; all that was new, vigorous and spic and span was centred round groves of cx.cao and
nutmegs. Nevertheless, sugar cultivation, or at least the manufacture of rum, still has its place
in theisland, In regard to rum, every island should be self-sufficient; and a good excise system ,
will replenish not only the State cofters but the planters’ pockets,
In the quality of its cocoa, which may be called the staple of tho island, Grenada stands
next to Trinidad, and may with care soon have a name for its cocoa nibs as well as its larger
rival. Probably some of the cocoa exported from Grenada at this time is not inferior to the best
Trinidad, though its price is from ten to twelve ehillings a cwt. lower, but the mass of the nibs
are cured by peasant proprietors in a crude manner which renders the article inferior in the
market; and the majority of the production gives the name to the rest.
In respect of nutmegs, cloves, and other spices, Grenada has brought on itself a distinct
obligation. It has come into competition with the great East India islands of Java and Sumatra ;
often the quality of its produce in Mincing Lane is equal to the best in the market. The West
Indies have the freight decidedly in their favour, and care in cultivation will complete the
success of the competition. Consequently there is decidedly room in the Windward islands
for an enterprising capitalist; in order to compete with the East Indies, science, thought, and

real interest in the work is needed, Oapital without. mind will be as slow to succeed as
the ephemeral practice of the negro proprietor. Vanilla has not yet been grown with any
success in Grenada; the flower and bean have not been produced; here is an opening for
interesting experiment. SEK
Why Grenada has sprung so far ahead of its neighbours is a difficult question to answer,
We hardly think the soil is peculiarly adapted for the products we have named, nor does it
appear to possess more Scotchmen than the other islands. Perhaps its inferiority in sugar.
producing was more marked, and set one or two master minds thinking sooner. An _ historical
answer to this query would be interesting. At any rate, it has now developed an unmistak-
sble want—that of good internal communication. At the same time it has the means, and,
therefore, the right to supply that want. Grenade is the worst off of the four islands for roads,
Beyond a few miles near the capital, and around Grenville—the little town of second importance
—communication by land is reduced to mere bridle-tracks ; in the richest parte of the island
commerce is strangled for want of decent roads; only now is an effurt being made to n -cove
the reproach. . A trunk-road acroge the island from Gouyave to Grenville has been begun,
and if the former’is connected by another road, either with the capital or with Sauteurs, through
the valleys inland, the first step will have been taken towards placing the finest parts of
Grenada in direct connection with the sea.
Of the Grenadine islands under the Government of Grenada, Carriacoo is the chief, Their
commercial importance is at present nil, nor are we aware that any one has suggested a future
for them, except a3 a central leper asylum for the West Indies, Even though startling, the idca
deserves consideration ; forcible isolation seems to be the only way of stamping out the loath- |
some disease of leprosy.
8T. VINCENT.
St. Vincent isthe most English of the group called Windward Islands. Even in its present
forlorn condition, it has more of the sentiment of English society about it than its neighbours,
and a man-of-we; meets with a greater ovation from the youths and maidens of this island
than it does in mst places. It is a fine island which has dropped into an almost unaccount-
able state of decadence. Its lofty central peaks are thickly wooded, and attract a considerable
rainfall, The Mariaqua valley is among the best examples of rich inland scenery and ground
adapted for every kind of tropical culture. Towards the north-east a fine plain sweeps to the sea,
It is one of the two remaining islands, the other being Dominica, where the last traces of
the Caribe, or old conquering savages of the West Indies, remain. The “Carib country” on the
north of the island still testifies to the sanguinary guerilla warfare which the dusky warriors
maintained against the settlers. There are but 192 Caribs, or half-Caribs, left in St. Vincent;
and they are not so distinctive in ocoupation and character as the 810 of Dominica,
St. Vincent was not finally confirmed to England till 1795. In the early part of the 18th
century, the French and English agreed to treat it as neutral, both disliking, more or less, the
task of dealing with the Caribe, After the English had made a determined effort to settle it,
they were atill twice ousted for a time by the French. .*
Its present atate of penury is usually ascribed to the monopoly of landed property held by
one firm, and the facilities of squatting afforded to the negroes by the large quantity of
undefined Crown lands. The firat of these causes must not be pushed too far; just the same argue
ment has been used in respect of Tobago. In a great number of cases the firms which. now
@ppear as monopolists would willingly have declined the position; but once having begun by
making advances to failing proprietors, estates have come on them too fast, and bad times have—
“Forced them, though it were in spite

to take up another and another estate, till it was quito impossible to work them properly, The

capitalists,

a systematic check on unauthorized occupation, while securing under propet payment those who
aré holding and cultivating patches of ground belonging to the Crown. At thesame time care is
required to secure the forests from wanton destruction. Much use may be made of the report
of the forest officer, who is at present going through the West Indies.
One effect of a proper policy as regards Crown lands is expected to be the repletion of the
labour market. Some limited good may be done; we incline to think the prospect is over-
rated. More probably it will encourage a more or less thrifty class of smal! proprietors, who
will gradually become as successful as those of Grenada.
We are not aware why St. Vincent should be leas adapted for cocoa and spices than its
neighbour. Some attempts are being made in that direction; the negroes have been induced
to plant and cultivate small estates for small capitalists, on the condition of receiving a portion
of the’ trees as their property as soon as the plantation begins to bear. We are assured that
they have shown neither interest nor perseverance, and the experiment lias so far failed. Tact

make every effort to retain its pre-eminence. Surely, also, a great deal more might be done here

fast dish ; they and guava jelly should find their way to every English breakfast-table.
Sugar, the staple product, with ite accompaniments of rum and molasses, can be made a
satisfactory export by better manufacture and more open and spirited trading. Seeing how
well it grows in most parts of the island, the effort is worth making,
South of St. Vincent, towards Grenada, lies the group of little islands called the Grenadines,
the northern portion of which belongs to the Government of St. Vincent, Stock-raising and sport
are their chief attractions; civilisation can barely be said to have reached them.
TOBAGO.
Poor little Tobago—ever struggling with financial difficulty ! Now in truly the last state of
depression, where the finest estates have just come into the London market without a single
offer, and the negroes are selling their horses to Trinidad for little more than the amount of the
tax. :
Robinson Crusoe’s island it is sometimes supposed to be; but a study of the chart with
‘Defoe’s bearings shows that the position of that hero’s kingdom is purely imaginary. Defoo
may, however, have received a detailed description of this particular island from some seafaring
friend, and have modelled on it his immortal conception, In no way approaching the grandeut
of its neighbours, Tobago is nevertheless an attractive and well-dowered land, in many respects
more intensely tropical than the islands to the north, its sweeps of sand lined with cocoanut
palma, and washed by the surf of the restless Caribbean, surpassing anything of the kind we
have seen elsewhere. Geologically it is allied to Trinidad and the Spanish main, and separated
from the more or less active volcanic formation to the north. Probably it once formed the most
north-easterly point of the South American continent, at the end of the arm which enclosed
_ the Gulf of Paria, The flora and fauna, in particular the birds, point to the same connection.
It would thus be natural to include it in the Government of Trinidad ; and the expediency
of a0 doing has been mooted and considered. The objection comes chiefly from the side of the
richer Colony; Tobago would also be slow to take upon herself ‘4e heavier burden of taxation
which the Trinidad rate would impose. The important question is whether union with Trinidad
would increase its prosperity. Some day it might; but the whole northern ovast of Trinidad is
Dt = undeveloped ; ite civilisation should precede the elevation of Tobago through
Dependent chiefly on one mail a month for its connection with the outer world, without
telegraphic conimunication, its finest estates forced into the hand of a single firm, and exporting
only along an old trodden path, the rest of the island in the hands of negroes who, content to
live happily on their small plots, have no inducement to exertion, and dislike taxation, Tobago
is the example of a ruinnte Colony. The absence of any considerable hill produces a tendency to
drought, especially at the south-western end of the island. Yet towards the other end of the
southern side there are plains to seaward peculiarly rich, and adapted for the sugar cane; and

behind these, and on the north side, large tracts of bush rather than woodland, and splendid
brakes of bamboos, cover ground eminently suited for cocoa and spices, as well as coffee, which
a few more determined managers are earnestly attempting to grow.
Hitherto Tobago has remained stationary; besides sugar she has exprrted cocoanuts; but
these require exceedingly vigorous pushing to make them a staple industry; what she can doin
other produce remains to be seen. It is, however, worthy of remark thet, as a rule, the
machinery for sugar manufacture on the larger Tobago estates is better than that of the neighbour-
ing islands, a proof of the numerous causes which may prevent sugar from paying. Roads, too,
although sadly in want of repair, are better in Tobago than in the sister islands.
The metayer system of sugar cultivation which obtains to a small extent in the othe
Windward Islands, is the prevalent form of culture in Tobago. The landowner usually supplies
land, sometimes plants, and, when the canc is ripe, gives up his mill for its grinding, and his
boiling-house for the manufacture. The metayer supplies labour from first to last, and assigns to
the owner of the land a fixed portion of the produce. This cultivation is ugually poor, and great
complaints are made of the careless use of milla when given up for metayers’ days, Here in fact
comes out the natural idleness of the negro, May not the want of prosperity in the West Indies
be put down to this—that the mass of their inhabitants have but fuebly developed the acquisitive
instinct which is the bond of our modern life?
8T. LUCIA.
Most fantastic in outline and configuration of all the Weat India islands, St. Lucia is
recognised at once from a distance by the two pillars of rock—pitons, or “sugar-loafs”—which
rise abruptly from its southern extremity. It is one of those islands for which we prophesy
a brilliant future. Its career under British rule has been so unassuming that its natural im-
portance has been forgotten. Without earning the reputation of great prosperity, it has never
suffered the extreme of adversity. After Dominica, it is the largest of the smaller islands, and,
after Dominica, the least opened up to enterprise.
It is again like Dominica in being still thoroughly French. After being the scene of severe
fighting, connected with the name of Abercrombie, it was finally conquered by the English in
1803, and definitely assigned to them by the Treaty of Paris 1814. Nearly three-quarters of a |
century have not effaced the dressiness and patois delivered by the French to the negroes
during twice that period previously. It has never had an elective House of Assembly, being
always governed by the Crown. In this respect it is on a par with Trinidad. Yet at the
present time the St. Lucia and Trinidad Councils are C>sidedly of a better stamp than the
more recent institutions of their neighbours. It cannot be denied that under the Crown
Colony system, through a certain period, there is a regular progress, while under pseudo-popular
constitutions, where they are alien to the ideas of the masses, the tendency has been retrograde,
Going quietly forward from year to year, St. Lucia has lately had a decided vote cast in
favour of its future advancement, by being chosen as the second station for the Imperial fleet in
the West Indies, Castries Harbour is in size only inferior to that of Jamaica, and in many
points superior. Works for its improvement are now busily in progress, and the money which
the Colony is spending will no doubt be a good investment. If and when the Panama Canal is
opened, we believe St. Lucia will be the chief port of all for the traffic passing through it
Castries is more on the line for European steamers than many of the islands, while it has the
attraction of a first-rate harbour. It is worth while here to warn the West Indies generally
against too much dependence on the hope of the Panama Canal, which can but benefit two ot
three islands directly.
In possessing a ueine, or central sugar factory, perfectly equipped with the best machinery,
St. Lucia is alone amongst the British possessions in the West Indies, Not only has the original
factory, in which the Government has a considerable stake, been at work for some years, but
two or three other attempts have been made quite recently to follow the example of its succes.
The island appears better suited for sugar than its neighbours, inasmuch as the valleys
which run up from the sea spread out into plains inland, instead of being more and mor
confined by mountains. A considerable quantity of land in such positions has never been 12

cultivation. Had it not been for the low price of sugar in 1884-5, there would probably have
been at least three sugar factories working full time in the Colony; and, in any case, no colony
will in future do better in sugar than St. Lucia. Looking forward, we should place St. Lucia
first as regards sugar, Dominica and Grenada in other products.
In the growth of cacao and spices some progress has been made of late; and for the further
development. of this enterprise there is a tendency to look to peasant proprietors. There is no
treason why such proprietors should not be as successful as they are in Grenada; but atill
greater success would attend the owner of capital. Capital must be sunk for six or seven years
without return, and this is the drawback which makes most men hesitate. After that time,
under present conditions, & rich harvest is reaped. The negro proprietor, on the other hand,
eats his yam and awaits the maturity of the cacao with comparative indifference. But there is
evidently a notion in the Colony that the peasant requires more than this; that the Government
should guarantee advances of capital for the cultivation of cocoa, nutmega, cloves, cinnamon, vanilla.
Such a system of advances works well in parts of India in the cultivation of opium; it is a plan
which should not be hastily condemned, but it should be adopted with the utmost caution. The
first draft of a scheme from St. Lucia not only involved the Government in the maximum of
risk, but, without very clearly helping the peasaui pruprietors, very distinctly suggested the
bolstering up of muscovado sugar. Now, whatever the future of sugar may be in the West
Indies—and we believe it to be a fair one—it is certain that a gradual abandonment of existing
works, and the superannuated ruscovado sugar is a, necessity.
St. Ludia hea: been the only one of the small colonies which has rey ularly and effectively
used coolie Jabour since its first introduction into the West. Lately there has not been work
enough, or wages enough, for coolie and negro, and the latter race has been migrating to the
Panama Canal. The harbour works should stop this exodus, which is a serious matter, although
the population, which is about 160 to the square mile, is not so sparse aither here or in the other
West Indies as is sometimes thought,

Bn eee LEEWARD ‘ISLANDS.
irs Leeward finds are the most northerly of the gtotips which constitute the Leseer Antitten
they inelde ‘the first land sighted on the moré hortherh toute to the West Indies, and they are’
he firat to engage successively the attention and admiration of the voyager on that charming -
in * down the islands” which constitutes the cream of «trip to the tropics.
They are not all English. The Danes, Dutch and French have each a footing in the
Archipelago. In geographical order the English islands are—the majority of the Virgin
nds, Anguilla, St. Kitts and Nevis, Antigua and Montserrat, and (beyond the great French
nd of Guadeloupe) Dominica.
m All of them have more or less of the voloanic Hbout them. Naturally they are of the eame
amp in every respect. By’ the difference of industrial development they are strongly contrasted.
st, Christopher and: Dominica ate the two poles—the former after Barbados, the most strikingly
ultivated island in the West Indies—the latter the least exploited of all.
Their small place on the roll of British dominions is in strong contrast to the day when they
p the most coveted islands in the world, when Montserrat, St. Christopher, or Nevis, were
uggied over and ceded in the treaties of Paris and Utrecht.
Politically they are a federation, that is' to say (for the terms federate and confederate are
0 often confused) an aggregation of independent Governments and‘ Legislatures which for
‘din ‘purposes have delegated their powers to ofte centtal and partially supreme Government,
i the last century there was a general Government and Legislature of the Leeward Islands ; but
t thé gredter part of the present century the islands were independent of each other, except in
p fat ds they were nominally grouped together for certain executive purposes under one Governor
n Ohfef. In 1871 the federation was restored, each of the ‘larger islands having a President of
bs on subservient to the Govertor in Chief.
t tad or ARIE AL
Antigua is the seat of the federal government: its chief town of St. John is decidedly the
host important place in the group. As the island has been so long used to vigorous political and
pumercial life, there is naturally a more extensive English society than in any island after
Barbados and Jamaica. The visitor cannot help feeling an under-current of strength and enter-
prise, which, however suppressed, is capable of springing into active results.
Agriculturally the island is more disappointing than some of its neighbours. But allowance
must always be made for the circumstances under which an island is seen. We have ourselves
een the same West Indian island at different moments appear the extreme of fertility or
mprespively parched, Physically it is by no means unpicturesque ; but the mountains are far
ower and the woodland much scantier than in most of the islands. It is too much cleared. No
land struck us as so likely to be benefited by judicious forest conservation. Much of fhe
most favourable agricultural land has, onthe other hand, been suffered to run into bush—
become “ ruinate,” as the phrase is, and the low price of sugar does not tend to check this.
The productions of Antigua at present may be classed os sugar and pine-apples. The minor
nits and ground crops supply tho local population, but are not the subject of any aufficient
ndustry, The sugar exported {s not of a high type, yet there are two attenipts in which Antigua
bss been G pioneer, We believe the Antigua planters were the first to use the steam-plough }
nd it was'in Antigua that Mr. Fryer first tried the coneretor process of sugar manufacture. It
my still be possible for this island to be a successful follower of St. Lucia in the catablishment

situations, Sugar and pine-apples will remain the staples; but the cultivation of both can |
much improved.
To the settler who requires new land Antigua is hardly open. The land belongs to oli
families who, or their attorneys, have worked it well; on them the prosperity of the island
which is aleo their own, depends. One wise step they have lately taken in conjunction wi
their neighbours; they have petitioned to be freed from the operation of the West Ind
Incumbered Estates Acts, which have done their best work and are pased ; and the federal log
lature has passed an Act for cheapening and rendering easy the transfer of land, This reforn
with the abolition of what is known as the consignee’s lien—a lien of absolutely priority over
estate and its produce in favour of the last lender—may go far to attract fresh capital ar

little turtle comes to London now except from Jamaica, There is no reason why many of th
islands should. not send turtle and turtle soup in every stage, and Antigua hes very proper
determined to show us what can be done.
The chief dependency of Antigua is a large island to the N.E. called Barbuda, of 1
commercial importance, overgrown by scrub, and used partly as a stock farm, partly as a shootin
ground, For many years it was held by the Codrington family as a sort of feudal domain, but
has now fallen back into the hands of the Crown, and is leased for a term of years.
8T, CHRISTOPHER AND NEVIS.
This presidency is composed of two islands, divided by a strait three miles wide, and
past ages perhaps joined together. Nevis was united to St. Christopher at the beginning
1883, and made part and parcel of the same Government, the seat of which is at Basseterte,
the former island, There is considerable difference in the islands in every way.
St. Christopher, commonly known as St. Kitts, is a bright little place 28 miles long with a
area of 68 square miles, with brilliant green slopes of sugar cane sweeping all round th
island towards the central cone of Mount Misery. The whole island may be said to be occupied
and it is the most prosperous of the group. The population is more plentifully proportioned
ite size, 428 to the square mile, and the labour market is fairly supplied. The roads comp
favourably with those of neighbouring islands. The great mountain attracts, a due share ¢
rain, At the south end there is a little peninsula, which forms the exception to the exclusi
sugar cultivation of the island, A resident of position owns it as a stock farm, but finds it
precarious method of industry, while the salt sea breezes blow over it and prevent the growth (
vegetation.
Nevis, though its well-wooded peak is constantly covered with cloud, gives the impressio
of much greater drought than St. Kitts. ‘This may be partly due to the rockior nature of |
formation: on some parts of the surface the rock crops up in all directions. The enterpries 0
one of the most enlightened men in West India circles has aimed at making Novis a garden
hitherto he has been without the success he deserves. His chief aim has been to introduce othe
products besides the sugar cane, chiefly lime trees for the manufacture of lime juice, The frii
of these efforts lies as yet in the future.
The history of St. Christopher is peculiar, having been at one time divided between
English and French; naturally they found that two nations could not get on in this small
and the weaker went over the sea. Nevis has a still greater claim to the interest of England
the place where Horatio Nelson married Mrs. Nisbet and passed perhaps the happiest yean
his afterwards glorious life,
Looking to the future, there is no startling new departure to be prescribed for these islani

aN A aR A A AAD,
DOMINICA.
Of all the West India Islands, Dominica has before it the most brilliant and distinctive
fature, The history of the others lies much in the past. We believe that of Dominica is in the
future, How soon that time will come is difficult to determine, The largest of the British
lands after Jamaica and Trinidad, it contains 291 square miles, ia 28 miles long and 14 broad.
Its mountains are next in height to those of Jamaica, though the Souffritre at St. Vincent rus
them close; but right away to the top they are densely clothed with foliage. From peak to shore
the island io a mass of virgin soil and unopened forest. The grandest of the islands from the
oa, it is also the most etriking on which to land, both from the bold outlines of its landscape
and the beauty of the foliage which clothes them; while from the heighta can be seen sparkling
streams and brooks which appear as fresh as those of Yorkshire.
The occupation of the French is still marked by the French patois spoken by some two-
thirds of the people, and by an old paved road recently discovered by an exploring party, which
goes right across the island where it is thickly overgrown with forest. Lying between the two
islands still held by the French, it has been one of the most flercely contested of the group. It
bas its own Thermopylae; a stone wall between the road and the sea atill is fondly believed to
be that where 300 men of the Dominica militia in 1805 opposed the march of the French to the
last man. Its roadsteads have eeen more hard fighting between the English and French than
any other part of the Caribbean. But alike the sound of arms and the buzz of commercial life
have died away, Its residuum of representative institutions seems to us to tighten rather than
ost off the bond of inertness which chains the island. Bound down by old traditions and hostile
toreform, the present House of Assembly is incapable of infusing either vigour or wisdom into
he Government of their land. Healthy representation requires a wider franchise. The
presidenoy of Dominica needs a peculiarly gifted and active executive officer, with brave and
conscientious advisers, to give it a fresh lease of life. Its trade at preaent is small, and a great
deal of it is known to be a smuggling traffic; its finances are subject to chronic deficits; there is
not much more than half‘a mile of road in the whole place along which one could drive a four-
wheeled carriage. Besides Roseau, the capital, there is not a collection of houses that is more
than a hamlet shrouded in coconut groves. But we cannot agree with those who speak of
Dominica as played out; they know nothing about it. The state of things described is one of
a nascent civilisation in an old-world settlement,
Yet agricultural enterprise has not been quite dead in Dominica. There are two or three
gentlemen in the Colony to whom credit is due for their attempt to develop industry. The finest
lime groves in the Weat Indies may even now be seen there; a certain amount of cacao is already
established. Of fruit in all kinds there is plenty, but only rarely when an American steamer
chances to call is there a possibility of shipping it off. The magnificent timber of the forests is
worthy @ better fate than to be cut down for charcoal, But strict rules as to cutting should be
put in force from the outset. In this way a succession of growth can be assured, and a sufficient
area retained for attracting the rainfall. As soon as the valleys are cleared, a varied prospect
opens to the cultivator. The rich soil of the Layou flats will be ready for sugar-making and
the'ustne; the same is true of other parts of the island. No place in the West Indies is better
adapted for cacao or for fruit of all kinds. Coffee should be grown on the slopes of the
mountains. Cinchona will flourish there as well as in Jamaica. In short, whatever can be
grown in the tropics will grow in Dominica. It has this advantage aleo: the other islands were
swept of everything to make room for sugar cane in days when sugar cost £15 a ton to make and
£60 to buy ; now that they want to grow other things there isa difficulty in going back. Dominica
starts fair under the new régime with the knowledge that different parts of the island are
adapted for and must produce a series of different products. One word about timber hauling.
The difficulty of transport has been the bar to the traffic in every West India island; but in
California the timber has been hauled or shot over mountains, ravine, gully and river just aa
formidable as the worst of West India ‘obstacles. First, therefore, cannot a demand be created
in London for these magnificent cabinet woods? Second, if the demand arises, cannot the diffi-
oulty of transit be overcome ?
It is a standing puzzle to us why Dominica has remained so stationary. The neighbouring
island of Martinique must have originally possessed much the same natural features; but the

of any and every tropical product, one general word of caution is necessary; the enorme
profits of a monopoly cannot be restored to the West Indies. Thereforo let care be taken that
further loss of capital is not made by an excessive competition to supply a limited though
gradually growing demand for cocoa, spices, limes, and ao forth.

hollowed out. his “shell,” resting on the
ends, is filled with wet sand and allowed to
spread to a sufficient width, when the stretchers
and timbers are inserted, the side-board, or
strake, is then put on, and the hull is complete.
These boats are safe and comfortable (the
larger ones seating six or eight passengers), and
manned by four lusty negroes, attain a con-
siderable speed; they are steered with a short
paddle after the Indian fashion. Thesurviving

makers of canoe shells and oars, and perform
a hazardous sea voyage along the windward
coast of the island in taking their wares to

FORDELLE, F. 8.—(284) Model of a
Fishing Canoe of the village of Pointe Michel
Dominica (original, 18 ft. long by 3 ft. 7 in.
wide). These canoes are from 14 to 19 ft. long,
and are proportioned and fitted, with scarcol
any variation, exactly like the model exhibited.
The body is hollowed out of the trunk of the
‘“ gommier ’’—a lofty treo abounding in the
forests of Dominica. The topsides, which are
fastened with ordinary nails, are of American
white pine or native wood. The timbora, locally
called ‘ courbes,” as well as the oars, masts,
rudder, and other “tings are of native wood.
The rowlocks are usually fastencd with stout
copper wire. Gaffsof light bamboo generally,
sails of light cotton fabric. The small hole at
forefoot represents a perforation made in the
rough hewn “shell,” to draw it with a ro
from the forest to the coast. No. 26 on the
port bow is the official number of the license,
which every undecked craft in the island is re-
quired to obtain by law. The light facings on
either side (outside of rail) are to protect the
rail from chafing of fishing lines. Two short
clubs, called ‘“ massee,” used to kill big fish.
Small box, constructed to coincide with contour
of afterpart of canoe just under the coxswain’s
seat, used to carry fishing tackle, hooks, wire,
twine, &c. Two pairs of sculls, larger for
forward rowlocks, one paddle always used in-
stead of rudder when rowing, sometimes when
sailing in a heavy sea it is used whaler fashion.
Calabash used to bale out water. The canoes
are exceedingly fast before the wind, drawing
but a few inches of water, but are liable to cap-
size on a wind if not well ballasted and struck
by a squall. Their hardy and adventurous
occupants, however, are quite at home in the
water, aud right them bale out, and proceed
without any fuss.

BRITISH HONDURAS.
Iw being the one British settlement in Central America British Honduras has its distinctive
geographical feature. It lies on the edge of that gradually attenuated neck of land, of which
eo much is untravelled and’ mysterious, which at last becomes the Isthmus of Panama, and
joins the two Americas, Low and flat towards tho Bay of Honduras, it rises gradually inland
towards the last spurs of the Cordilleras; the Cockscomb Mountains on its western boundary
aro of the same mould as those which Mr. Whymper climbed further to the north. Its charac-
teristics are vast forests of valuable timber, deep tropical rivers, sweeping savannahs of swamp
and rank grass. It is filled with traces of Indian, Mexican, or Spanish civilisation in ages now
remote; their forts and cities are covered with luxuriant tropical growth, or gradually sinking
below o new surface of yearly accumulated soil. One day not many years hence these may
open an unexplored field to the archmologist. Yet the whole Colony is not believed to contain
more than 7,852 square miles; in other words is not much larger than Wales.
Ita political histcry is unique even in the history of British colonial enterprise; its events
reproduco in petto that of our settlement in India. One of our older settlements, it is one of
our youngest colonies, The logwood on its river banks attracted the attention of some British
rovers, and they settled at the river mouths along all this coast for the purpose of cutting first
the dye-woods, afterwards mahogany. In despite of the Spaniards, by sufferance of tho
Spaniards, at last by conquest of the Spaniards, these hardy Scotch and English men retained
their footing on the Belize river, when they had been driven from the rest of Campeachy, Tho
British Government but poorly recognised their pluck at first; about the beginning of this
century they deigned to counterinnee them by appointing a Superintendent, A constitution °
followed, and gradually developed with the requirements of political life. In 1862 British
Honduras was made a Colony with a Licutenant-Governor, under the Governor-in-Chief at
Jamaica. In 1879 its existence as a separate Colony was consummated, and its Governor
corresponded direct with the Secretary of State.
The chief town of the colony is Belize, a port facing right out on the Bay of Honduras,
guarded by reofs which make navigation difficult. The site is flat, but not unpicturesque, the
wooden houses pleasantly relieved by the waving palm-trees; not unlike the general aspect of
Georgetown, Demerara, which is also on very low ground. Orange Walk and Corcsal—the
places of next importance—can scarcely be called towns. Thero is not a road in the country
worthy of the name except the usual evening drive of the residents of Belize; its highways aro
the rivers and the sea, the former navigated by “pitpans”—a dug-out canoo—the latter by
coasting schooners. Very limited, therefore, is the portion opened to trade. Proportionately
attractive will the Colony be to future enterprise.
Mahogany cutting is the chief industry; and on this the reputation of British Honduras
is founded. The logwood trade runs it close. Both depend on the rivers down which the cut
timber is floated; and nothing is cut except within easy draught of a river bank. Next to
these, attention is given to the growth of fruit for the American market; plantations of
bananas’and cocoanuts are increasing in number and size yearly. There are six or seven sugar
eatates at work, sending out sugar in the form which is known as concrete—that is, in a com-
pactly welded brown mass, very dark, and full of molasses, which has the advantage of saving
the owner from loss by leakage in transit, but is useless without careful refining.
In the autumn of 1882 Mr. Morris of Jamaica, whose vigorous prosecution of his botanical
duties has earned him tho appointment of Assistant-Director at Kew Gardens, visited and
proapected British Honduras, and embodied in a small volume his conclusions as regards the
industrial future of the Colony. Existing industry can be extended and improved by opening
up the country; vast tracts of mahogany still remain untouched, and the best wood, to the
north of the Belizo river, is that which ‘has least been meddled with. The cultivation of
bananas is crude; but clearings of the forest will provide some of the richest soil in the world,
Pe et ee ete ee ee » es ee ee ee ee ee eee 7 er oe . o
476 British Honduraa.
The same may be said of sugar. A central factory has not been suggested, nor is the country
yet ripe for it; but thero is a virgin soil to set against the exhausted ground of most of the
West India Islands; and there is no reason why a largo share of profits from sugar should not
soon fall to the British Honduras planter. Mr. Morris found the cacao or cocoa-tree, and the
’ vanilla bean, growing wild in the forests; coffee shrubs bear enormous crops just across tho
frontier; the oil of the cohune nut is one of the most valuable of vegetable oils, and tho
cohune palm is one of the distinctive features of the landacapo, fibre plants are numerous,
and for fibro there is an entirely unsatisfied demand. The possible dovelopment of thcao
resources is for present purposes unlimited.
The direct commercial connection of the Colony is with New Orleans, a straight run of some
600 miles N.E. by N. across the Gulf of Moxico, after rounding Cape Catoche, Thither goes all
the fruit, and with it the mails and passengers, Timber is shipped to Europe by sailing craft.
A considerable increase must take place in the speed of ocean-going steamers before wo can
expect to see the fruit of British Honduras, but ton days old, in Covent Garden market. There
is likewise a very considerable trade with the neighbouring republics of Guatemala and
Honduras, and with Mexico. With the firat-namod state it is conducted chiefly by way of the
Belize river and across the frontier to Peten; with the others it is carried on along the coast.
In order to settle the trade routes finally, two things aro wanted—to set at rest the boundary
difficulty with Mexico and Guatemala, and to open up the country either by rail or road. If, at
they profess, the two Governments montioned are really anxious to mark out their boundaries,
the treaty boundary of our Colony should, before many months are ,ovey, be finally settled and
marked out. Surveyors are cutting the line at this moment, Several projects for a railway
have been mooted of late years. An effort has quite recently beon made in the city to sound
financial houses about a line between the two rivers and into Guatemalan territory, tapping
some of the richest land in Central America. We rather foar that such schemes are not heartily
supported by the present traders and property-holdors in the Colony. This is a fault of young
and flourishing settlements. People are doing very well on the old lines, and they are not too
anxious to let in young blood and enterprise to share, and perhaps dock, their profits.
Land and labour are the desiderata of the capitalist who is looking out for new fields to
conquer. Here there is abundant land, the property of the Crown, to be sold in lots at one dollar
per acre. After a while it will be for the Crown to consider whether it would not be wiser to
lease it.. That most of this soil is good, some of it exceedingly rich, we have already mentioned.
The labour question ia one that is at present agitating the Colony; a recently printed
report on the subject shows the position of the question, and the feelings of the employers. At
present labour is scarce, its price high. It can hardly be otherwise where the wants of the
labourer have not been multiplied by an elaboraty civilisation, and comfort is attained with
the smallest possible exertion. But from the capitalist’s point of view the diffoulty is serious.
High-priced labour means a high cost of production, and being undorsold by other countries,
One experiment is worth trying—the immigration of our surplus population from the British
Isles. The climate of British Honduras is cooler than that of the noighbouring countries,
and Americans have succeeded there as ficld-workers, The climate which suits our kinsmen of
the States should not be devoid of attraction to the strugglers of these islands.
INTRODUCTORY NOTES TO FORESTRY EXHIBITS.
To its timber and dyewoods the Colony of British Honduras owes its existence and whatever
measure of progress and advancement it may have attained, To the discovery, first of logwood
and subsequently of mahogany, its original settlement must be ascribed, It scems appropriate,
therefore, to place the specimens of woods at the head of tho present collection of its natural
products and industrial objects, and to begin with the exhibit of indigenous woods contributed
by the Belize Estate and Produce Co., comprising nearly 100 specimens,
A few remarks on the principal varieties of timber reprosented in this collection may bo
found useful, but it must be premised that many of the woods in it are as yet unknown to com-
merce, and unclassified scientifically ; and in such cases wo have to be contented with the names
locally current, the trees apparently having been christened by the whimsical imaginations of
the woodcutters,

the tree itself is requisite. The hardness and durability of tho wood, tho finencss of its grain,
and susceptibility to a high polish enable the timber to hold its place againat all competitors as 4
carpentry and furniture wood, if other materials havo partially driven it out of tho shipbuilding
trade.
The height of the trunk to the first branch or “crutch,” the space covered by its buttress:
shaped roots, its umbrageous spread of foliage and great girth of trunk, render tho tree conspl-
cuous amongst forest giants. It propagates by seed, and is said to take 200 years in arriving at
maturity, Its development is more rapid in the shade than in the open,
Mahogany and logwood belong to the same botanical family—Decandria monogynia, Swiet.
Logwood.—Sometimes called Campeche wood, is probably as generally known as mahogany,
and is supposed to form the basis of tho adulterated Port wine which passes for the gonuine
produce of Oporto. The tree grows with a very crooked stem to a height of from 16 to 24 ft.,
about the girth of a man’s thigh, seldom thicker; branches thorny, leaves winged, and flowers
pale yellow. Besides its value as a dyewood, an extract from it is used medicinally as an astringent
and in certain other operations. It is found in immonse thickets in marshy places, and largely
exported.
Cedar comes next to mahogany as an article of timber product exported from the Colony, and
averages 140,000 to 150,000 feet annnal export. It is a member of the same family, and is
named specifically Cedrela odorata, It is in great demand for light indoor work, civar boxes,
trunks and packing cases, In the colony it is used to manufacture tho light craft employed in
river and lagoon navigation, being hollowed out into canoes, pitpans and bungays, ”
Rosewood (Dalbergia sp.).—A very heavy, rich, dark reddish wood, very desirable for enbinet
purposes, and plentiful in the Colony, growing to a height of 80 ft, with o girth of 86 to 38 in,
Owing to its weight, it is difficult to transport by water, an obstacle to the exportation of many
of the native furniture woods yet to be overcome; about 150 to 200 tons is probably the averago
exportation. ‘The so-called Bastard Rose is a distinct variety, the wood of which works up
much redder in colour ; and there is another illegitimato of tho family, the Pix (No, 50) found in
the Colony.
Ziricote is by some considered o description of rosewood. Mr. Morris, Director of tho
Botanical Garden, Jamaica, who made a professional tour through the Colony a few years ago, at
the request of the Colonial Government, states it to bo scarce, but it is abundant in the Northorn
District. It is only exported in small quantities, Tho samo authority classes it amongst other
timbers of the Colony as yet unclassified and unknown to commerce.
Fustic.—A yellow dyewood ; is well known to commerce and the trade; the Morus tinctoria,
It is used locally for furniture work, and about 100 tons are annually exported.
Sapodilla (Achras supota). It is a most durable wood, difficult, on account of its extreme
hardness, to work on, but it does work up handsomely in furniture, as will be seen on reference to
the furniture exhibits and the woods composing thom. The tree grows tall and free from
branches, and one variety (No. 8) bears a sweet fruit with a rough rind, tho Naseberry, the
seeds of which are used asa diuretic. It is much used locally for uprights and beams in house
carpentry, but owing to the great weight of tho logs cannot bo floated down the rivers to the
ports. If this difficulty of transportation be overcome—say by tho introduction of railways—this
wood must find its way to European and other markots in much larger shipments than is the
case now. At present it can hardly be said to be exported. There are two varicties, the black
and the red, one rather scarcer than the other, and not half so lofty, although about the same
girth. Itisa tree which grows abundantly in Honduras,
Sam or Salmwood.—A brown, very durable wood, On account of its being avoided by all
kinds of insects, it is much appreciated for lining wardrobes, kc, It would therefore be very
suitable for specimen cases for collectors of Natural History objects, especially entomological
specimens. The tree grows fifty feet high with an average diameter of two, It is not exported,
Of so-called Poisonwood there are apparently three varieties, but “ Chechom” (See No. 4)
is simply the Indian name for all kinds of wood locally so designated. The trees are so named on
account of their secreting an acrid juice, which dropping on the skin of the woodcutter blistors it;
and a local authority, a writer in the Colonial Guardian, reviewing the preliminary Exhibition in
Belize, describes the “Chechem” as a kind of Upas, to be under the shade of which for any

eS eS,
time inflames tho skin of tho face and the oyes, The writer calls the wood of tho same tree the
“King of Wooda,” but he means of cabinet woods. It may be seen worked into the threo
furniture exhibits made by Sefior Andueza, of Belize, Nos. 263 & 264. Tho trees of the black
variety are largo and umbrageous, and both kinds grow abundantly in the region, the height
avoraging betweon 80 and 100 foot, diameter 24 to 80 inches. The white variety of “Ohechem”
appears to be the largest in its growth.
Granadilla is a hard, dark-red wood with oa beautiful fine grain, and is less difficult to work
than Sapodilla or Ziricoto, and less brittle than tho latter. It is a greater favourite with car-
penters than either, It is not exported.
Palwalatto.—Anothcr wood not sent out of the country; is sometimes called Zebra wood, tho
markings being alternate stripes of dark and pale brownish red, hence the latter name. Its first
cognomen is an English corruption of the Spanish “Palo Mulato,” or mulatto wood, This and
the preceding grow about fifty feet high, generally under than over that height, and are abundant.
Tho Palmalatto is about 17 inches in diameter.
Pale and Palmettos (Chamerops)—" Nothing so much impresses the traveller,” says
Mr. Morvia, speaking of the plantelife of British Honduras, “as the abundance and profusion of
palms which are everywhere seen.” In point of value and utility first comes the cocoanut, useful
from ite roots upwards, ‘'he cahoon is probably next to it in value, and then the date; the
cabbage, with its tall amooth columnal stem surmounted by a long green folded bud containing
an ediblo substance, embellished with a singularly pretty “shoot” and topped by its waving
pinnate fronds, ia ‘a thing of beauty, aud Oreodoca well deserves it royal appellation. Oreodoxa
oleracea is found on the banks of the rivers in the interior, and is used by tlie Caribs to construct
their huta, and by Logwood-cutters for their “ bark logs,” or cradle-rafts, which convey the
logwood down the river to the port of shipment.
The genus Zhréaaz is plentifully present, and in various species and of nearly all kinds; it
is used for staking, fencing, and in bush houses, as pends for thatching, &c. Mr. Morris eays
Chamadoreas aud Geonomae are numerous, and if it be only established that C. tenella is present,
which he thinks doubtful, the Colony possesses “the most majestic of pinnate-leaved palms and
also the smallest of known species,”
India Rubber.—Mz. Morris would appear to have come across only an indifferent kind, tho
native “Toonu,” the gum of which is too brittle to be prepared, But thore is a superior rubber-
producing tree (probably castilloa elastica of other classifiers). A specimen of this rubber will
show this to be the case,
In tropical fruit trees the Colony is rich. Some of these producing good timber are shown
amongst the specimens of timber trees.
Two examples of the Natural Curiosity—the “Scotchman hugging the Creole,” are added.
The phenomenon, if it may be so described, is the result of a by no means mutual embrace; the
ombracer, or Scotchman, being a parasitical plant, locally called the “ Wild Fig,” on account of
a amall fruit it bears which has a resemblance to the fig; and the embraced, the reluctant Creole,
@ treo of the palm order. Eventually the life sap is squeezed out of the Creole by the too
ardent hug of the sinowy representative of Caledonia, who, however, continues to flourish and
becomes a vigorous instance of tropical vegetation. Another curio is a specimen of logwood
twisted in a funtastic growth; and there is a historical relic, a polished palmetto stem said to bo
one of the veritable “Poke and do boy” staves used as pike handles by the slaves when they
defended the Colony under their masters and owners in an engagement with the Spaniards, who
were dofeated and driven off.

Bay of Honduras are densely covered with it.
The wood is used to burn, and the bark as an
astringent. Morris names a white variety
(Laguncularia racemosa). All varieties are
used in house |.”*!ding and occasionally in cabi-
net work, The white is also used for ship-
building, in which it has a great local seer
furnishing “ knees” that require little moulding
into the necessary shape. Average growth 30

x. Cashaw (Prosopis juliflora).
x fodder tree somite salt West Indies
and neighbouring countries, but dangerous at
times as such. If an animal is fed on the
foliage at the time the buds are germinating,
the germination is continued in the animal’s
intestines, and if not relieved of its last meal
the poor beast dies. Breeders of stock there-
fore eliminate it from their pastures; The
Cashew* (Anacardium occidentale) is a favourite
plant on account of its edible seeds, which grow
peculiarly, namely, at the end of the beauti-
fully coloured swollen stalk. The tree belongs
to the sumac (Rhus) family, and the fleshy
stalk, besides’ being eaten, makes a pleasing
preserve, and also a pleasant drink. (Morris:
P is, yields also a gum resembling Gum
Arabic, and the wood of it. is hard and
durable.)
92. Satinwood.
A hard’ lemon-coloured local variety of a well-
known furniture wood, which emits: a slight
ce, takes a lustrous polish, and is a great
favourite: with cabinet makers and! furniture
connoiseurs; The origin of the name is obvious,
and’ the local’ species: grows to a height of 30'ft.
with a diameter of 2ft. That it is inferior to
its Indian congener few who view it worked up
in articles of furniture will consider. It is
plentiful in British Honduras. Wood called
“Good Luck” in this list and locally much
resembles it. Morris does not mention it, at
least it is not in his Index.

THE BAHAMAS.
By Avaustus J. Apprriey, O.M.G,
Tus Bahamas consist of an aggrogation of 29 islands, 661 bays, and 2,887 rocks, which stretch
from the northern coast of St. Domingo to the eastern coast of Florida, a distance of over 600
miles. They greatly vary in size, and for the most part lie to the windward edgo of the great
sand banks formed by the rivers of America as they pour into the Gulf of Mexico. Four only
of the islands are located to the leeward, Grand Bahama, Andros, Abaco and the Biminis.
The formation of all these islands is uniform, calcareous rock of coral and shell hardened
into limestone, honeycombed and perforated with innumerable cavities, without a trace of
primitive or volcanic rock. The shores are generally low, and few hills rise above 250 feet.
The soil, though thin, is astonishingly fertile, and vegetation grows luxuriantly; all tropical
and subtropical plants flourish, often attaining, with little or no care, phenomenal proportions
The principal island is New Providence, which contains the capital, Nassau, and is about twenty-
one miles long by seven in breadth. ‘Theo other principal islands are: Grand Bahama,
Eleuthera, Andros, Abaco, Long Island, San Salvador, Rum Cay, Inaqua, Exuma, Ragged
Island, Crooked Island, Berry Islands and Harbour Island.
The population, according to the latest statistical report, 1881, is 44,000, of whom 14,000
are whites and the remainder are descendants of liberated Africans.
_ The capital, Nassau (population 12,000), a well-built and remarkably clean city, is situated
at the head of a fine harbour. It contains a handsome Government House, the Episcopalian
Cathedral, and all the usual public buildings indispensable to the seat of Government. There
are several other Episcopal and dissenting places of worship, but the Roman Catholics are not
sufficiently numerous to have a chapel of their own.
Each private house stands by itself, surrounded by deep verandahs and in the midst of
gardens full of tropical plants of every description. Passion flowers, the “moon flower,” the
wild convolvulus, an infinite variety of acacias, grow luxuriantly in gardens laden with the scent
of the orange and oleander blossoms, whilst the tall cocoanut trees wave their fronds high up in
the air above a mass of foliage studded with brilliant flowers. The whole place, at certain
seasons, appears to be one vast garden, and this charming aspect, together with the balminess
of the air and the vivid tints of the sea, render it most attractive to strangers, and quite
justifies the enthusiastic eulogiums of all travellers who have visited its shores since Columbus.
who, on first discovering the Bahamas, wrote to Ferdinand and Isabella a most glowing descrip-
tion of what he was pleased to call an “earthly Paradise.”
Every commodity and luxury of life can be procured in its principal shops. The great
increase in the commerce of the place within the past ten years is noticeable everywhere,
The harbours can shelter many hundreds of vessels. From November to April there is a
constant stream of visitors from the United States. Some come for rest, and others for the
benefit of their health, much after the fashion of Europeans who fly the mists and fogs of
London and Paris for the genial shores of the Riviera.
The Royal Victoria Hotel is well conducted on the American plan, and can accommodate
over a hundred persons. There are, besides, several other excellent boarding-houses. Carriages
can be hired at any moment, and the roads all over the island are in good condition.
There are several other towns and villages in the various islands, of which Adelaide,
Grant’s Town and Sandlands are the largest in New Providence.
History—The Bahamas were the first landfall ot Columbus; and, when sighted by that
illustrious discoverer on the morning of October 12th, 1492, he landed upon an island then
called Guanahani, which he at once rechristened San Salvador. It is supposed to be the
present Cat’s Island. He found the natives a gentle and hospitable people of the Caribee
tribe, and, after spending several pleasant days in their country, sailed for the other and larger
islands of San Domingo, Cuba and Jamaica, and never returned again. Some years later, on the

discovery of Hispaniola, the Spaniards being in want of hands to work in the mines there
decoyed, under false pretences, the natives of the Bahamas thither, to the number of 40,000. The
ill-treatment they received was such that, in ten years, not one remained alive. They all
perished, either from the effects of the cruelties to which they were subjected, or those of home-
sickness. The account of their vain longing to return to their homes is most pathetically narrated
by the contemporary historian Peter Martyr.
In 1512 the Bahamas received a visit from Ponce de Leon, who came there on a rather
singular errand, that of searching for the fountain of eternal youth, which of course he did not
find. After this useless visitation, tho islands. remained almost uninhabited for nearly 9,
century, although they still continued to be Spanish property, having been bestowed upon
Ferdinand and’ Isabella by Pope Alexander VI., with the whole of the New World.. Notwith-
standing this donation, Protestant England began to fit out expeditic»s which interfered sadly
with Spanish rights and profits ; Sir Walter Raleigh, Sir Francis Drake, and Sir John Hawkins
all made expeditions to the prohibited territory. In 1578 Sir Humphrey Gilbert was presented
by Queen Elizabeth with the lands and countries he might discover that. were not already
taken possession of by some Christian power. Spain at this time was not considered by the
Virgin Queen to be either a Christian or a friendly power, and so Sir Humphrey appropriated the
Bahamas; but whether he ever enjoyed the produce of his extensive properties there or not,
tradition even does not say; and, although he may be considered historically to be the first
Governor of the Bahamas, it is doubtful whether he ever derived much benefit from Elizabeth’s
splendid gift. A succession of disputes between Spanish and English rovers as to who really
owned the islands, of a more or less sanguinary and profitless nature, fill up the pages of
Bahamas history for nearly fifty years after the episode of Sir Humphrey Gilbert. In 1629
some English adventurers made a settlement in New Providence, which was destroyed: by the
Spaniards in 1641; and a second unsuccessful attempt was again made to inhabit the islands in
1666: Captain Sayle, afterwards Governor of Carolina, was forced in 1667 by stress of weather
to seek shelter among the Bahamas. Being then ignorant that they had been visited by
Columbus, he was about to give them his own name, but being obliged a. second. time to seek
refuge from a storm in the harbour of Nassau, he recognised a special dispensation, and
called the island Providence. On his arrival in America, he added the word “New,” to
distinguish it from “Old” Providence on the Mosquito shore. In 1680: Charles: IL. granted
the islands to George Duke of Albemarle, William Lord Craven, Sir George Carteret, John
Lord Berkeley, Anthony Lord Ashby and Sir Peter Colleton. The dateof the grant is 1680
but the settlement had already been regularly formed some two years previously. The first
Governer was a Mr. Chillingworth, who arrived in 1671, but was not allowed to land by the
inhabitants, who shipped him off to Jamaica. The next Governor, Mr. Clarke, was murdered
by the Spaniards. At the time of the English Revolution several families removed from
England to the Bahamas, and Mr. Cadwallader Jones was appointed Governor in 1690.
Under the rule of Governor Elias Lightgood, 1703, the French and Spanish combined to
surprise the town of Nassau so completely that they not only blew up the fortress, spiked the
guns and burnt the church, but carried off the Governor and the principal inhabitants to
Havannah. Not satisfied with this, they returned in the following year and carried off every-
thing and everybody else they could lay hands on. A few hid in the woods, and the rest
managed to make their escape to Virginia and Carolina, but the Spaniards had. succeeded a
second time in making the bahamas desolate.
News evidently travelled slowly in those days, since the lords proprietors sent out another
Governor, Mr. Bird, who, on arriving, was extremely astonished to find he had no subjects to
govern. He, however, landed and encamped in the woods; but, after a time, growing weary of
the solitude, he returned to England, and for many years the Island of New Providence bevame
only the resort of buccaneers, wreckers and pirates. Of these latter many extraordinary and
romantic stories are told, which have beon made capital of by several novelists, notably so by
Captain Maryatt. In 1718 the more respectable inhabitants petitioned the English Govern-
ment for a new Governor, and accordingly Mr. Richard Fitzwilliam was sent out; but he was
not fortunate, and was almost immediately afterwards recalled. During the American War of
Independence, colonists arrived in great numbers, and amongst them were several families of
fortune and education. Commerce was soon revived, and a reign of respectability inaugurated,

prosperity of the islands, which immediately before that event was considerable; but, after
a lengthy, struggle to overcome many difficulties which that necessary but only too sudden
event. created, the islands have in great part recovered their previous position. With the
exception of a few very violent hurricanes which have occasionally done great damage, and the
stirring incidents which marked the period of the late civil war in the United States, no event
of great importance or productive of much.excitement has transpired to mar the peaceful routine
of life in these interesting and. very beautiful health-giving islands.
The Government is based on the British Constitution. ‘There is a Governor, who repre-
sents Her most gracious Majesty the Queen, an Executive Council of nine members, a Legislative
Council of nine members, nominees of the Crown, and a House of Assembly of twenty-nine
membors, of various shades of colour and politics.
There are two principal newspapers published at Nassau, the Nassau Guardian and the
Herald, besides other literary, and religious periodicals.
Public schools abound, and are, as a rule, well attended and conducted. In 1861 the
' census. gave 8,506 as able to read and write, out of a total pepulation of 35,287, less than a
_ quarter. It would be the reverse now; there is scarcely a ¢sild over seven years of age who
cannot read or write.
A public reading-room and library has existed for many years, and contains many curious
works. General literary and scientific societies have been formed, and lectures are both frequent
and excellent, especially so in the “season,” when strangers of distinction often favour the public
with their views on the questions of the day.
The extraordinary love of the coloured population for music deserves encouragement and
F cultivation.
The fishing-boats, numbering 100, and employing 500 men, are usually of the sloop rig,
with a leg-of-mutton sail, and a well for keeping the fish alive. The sponging and wrecking
vessels, numbering 500, employing 5,000 men, are of schooner rig, fine models, and fast sailers.
| They are built by the islanders, the timbers being of native hard wood (horseflesh), the
planking of yellow pine, from North Carolina, andivary in tonnage from 15 to 60 tons. The
spongers ship on the share principle. The cost of the outfit is first deducted from the sale of the
sponges, then the shipowner takes one-third, the crew two-thirds.
Fish are caught with fish-pots, hand-lines and nets, the nets being.taken out. some distance
from the land, and hauled slowly in to the shore, when. a. great variety, many of brilliant and
variegated colours, is usually secured. It. forms. an important article of food, but none are
exported, with the exception of turtle (Chelonia Mydas), and the hawksbill (Chelonia imbricata)
yielding the tortoise-shell of commerce, The estimated value of fish used in home consumption
is £18,000 per annum, and of turtle exported £600 per annum. King, queen, and common
conch-shells are exported in large quantities, being used for cameos, and in the latter is found
the beautiful pale pink pearl now becoming so valued. The value of shells exported is £1,200
per annum, and of pearls £3,000 per annum.
Ambergris is also found on these shores, and sea-cucumber (trepang). The value of
ambergris exported is £1,000 per annum,. Corals and smali shells, which are very beautiful,
are largely collected, and find a ready sale among the American visitors, and in England.
The value of the sponge exports in 1885 was £58,000, in 1883 it. was £60,000. In 1882 it
was £59,088. From an official report the following is extracted :— That. the sponge trade gives
employment to several thousands of persons and some hundreds of vessels, thesponges being
divided into coarse and fine. The principal varieties, in order of their value, are known as.sheep-
wool, white reef, abaco velvet, dark reef, boat, hardhead, grass, yellow, and glove; and of some
of these varieties there are several grades, designated: by numbers, all being,used for mechanical,
surgical, and bathing purposes. Bahama and Florida sponges are about equal in texture and
value, but both are inferior to those of the Mediterranean. The vessels employed in sponging
are small, with crews of from six to twelve men. About six weeks’ provisions are taken on
board, and they then coast along the banks and reefs, where the water is shallow, and generally
so clear that the sponges are readily seen, and are brought. to the surface by hooked poles, or
sometimes by diving. When first brought up they are covered with a soft gelatinous substance

organism. The day’s catch is spread out on the deck so as to kill the ‘ass of animal life,
which, in drying, emits a most unpleasant smell. Then the spongers gc; ashore and build a
pen or “crawl” of stakes close to the water’s edge, so that the ston of the tide may wash
away the black covering, in which it is aided by pounding the sponges with sticks. When this
operation is completed the sponges are strung upon small palmetto strips, three or four to o
strip, which is called “a bead,” when they are taken to Nassau to be sold in the sponge-market
Ser certain conditions and regulations, nobody being allowed to sell his cargo otherwise than
through this sponge exchange. On the conclusion of the sale the sponges are taken to tho
packing-yard, where they are sorted, clipped, soaked in tubs of lime-water, and spread out to
dry in the sun. They are then pressed by machinery into bales, containing 100 lbs., and in
this state are shipped to England or the United States, which of late years is almost the largest
customer for Bahamas sponges. The export has been gradually increasing, for whereas ir 1874
it only represented £16,000, last year it amounted to £58,000.
In consequence of the number of islands, harbours are essily made during heavy weather,
and sad cases of distress are of rare occurrence.
A school of art has been recently established in order to teach the natives to utilize the
many beautiful products which abound in the island, and which havs hitherto been exported
to Italy for manufacture. Amongst these, perhaps, the most useful are the conch-shell and
the tortoise-shell. Some finely-carved cameos are shown in the Exhibition, executed by pupils
es
al
of the art schools. Buttons, sleeve-links, and a variety of other useful and ornamental articles
are made from the many shells of all sizes and kinds which are picked up in extraordinary
abundance on the coast, also very artistic shell flowers. f
Pink pearls are found in the conch-shells, and are of great value and much prized by
jewellers, and are beautifully illustrated in the Court, They differ in value according to size
and colour.
Among the many varieties of useful woods which grow abundantly in the various islands
are the mastic, fustic cedar, pitch pine, Madeira mahogany, horseflesh (a peculiarly hard wood),
satin, Lignum vite, logwood, ebony, bragellette, poison wood, stopper, much utilized for
piles for building wharves. Of trees yielding barks of commercial value, the cascarilla and
cinnamon (Canella albu) are the two most deserving of mention. The candle-berry myrtle
(Myrica unifera) producing vegetable wax, thrives,
The fruit trees are of great variety, the principal are the cocoanut tree, orange, shaddock,
lemon, sappadilles, mel-:, banana, tamarinds and guavos. Grapes grow well, but the other
fruits of the temperate sone, such as peaches, strawberries, &c., are almost unknown.
The flowers are of infinite variety and beauty, and embrace most of those common to the
tropics and many peculiar to the islands. The botany of the islands is fully represented in the
Court by a series of exquisite drawings made expressly for the Exhibition by Her Excelloncy
Mrs. Blake. Owing to the great number of strongly scented blossoms and medicinal bulbs and
roots, it is believed that the science and art of the distiller and perfumer might be introduced
with favourable results.
The fibre of the pineapple leaf could also be turned to advantage, since it can be used for
production of a strong and exceedingly fine kind of linen and gauze. The plants grow abun-
dantly all over the Archipelago.
The same fibres which are being so extensively exported from Yucatan are gradually
being appreciated in the Bahamas, where many of them grow wild, and doubtless in due time
they will assume their proper position in the commerce of the islands as an important export.
Climate.—The climate of the Bahamas is famous throughout the world for its beauty and
healthiness, and Nassau is now a formidable rival of Nice with the valitudinarians of the United
States. The maladies of all others which Nassau benefits most are those of the lungs and nervous
system.
Terk surface drainage of the city is excellent. Water soon disappears, either through the
gutters cut in the stone—which, by the way, are very good—at the roadside, or by percolation.
It would hardly be possible to find a stagnant pool of any kind. The streets aro very neat,
and as both the wide side-walke and the carriage-ways are cut on the native rock, and are
equally hard and clean, it is as customary to walk on the latter than the former. All the

The mean temperature during the winter months is somewhat higher than at other health
resorts, as is shown by the following comparisons :-—

But the average mean temperature of a month may be quite deceptive. It is the diurnal
and from day to day fluctuations which are of the greatest importance and have the most influ-
ence upon the health of invalids. In this particular Nassau has an advantage over any locality
on the Atlantic side of the continent.
Nassau is reached in two ways during the winter months, from New York, by an excellent
line of steamers, J. E. Ward & Co., which make the run in three days and a half, and from Jack-
sonville in Florida in forty hours, There is also Messrs. Scrutton’s line of steamers which
run directly from London,

WEST AFRICA SETTLEMENTS.
Tur West Africa Settlements consist of Sierra Leone, with Freetown as its principal town; and
the Gambia, situated on the River of that name, with its chief town of Bathurst. }
Sierra Leone was ceded to Great Britain in 1787 by the native chiefs; and was made a
residence for freed slaves from the United States and West Indies. <A largo tract of country
called Sherbro was added to it in 1862.
The'scenery of Sierra Leone is very picturesque; and the line of hills from which it derives
its name has a beautiful appearance, especially from the sea; but the climate ha
deadly to European residents. whe cs
SIERRA LEONE.
Tus Colony unfortunately did not send its exhibits until after the opening of the Exhibition
and therefore could not be noticed in our first edition. f
It now has a very interesting and extensive collection of the various Oils, Seeds, Fibres,
Rubber, Woods and other products of the country.. Theré are also excellent specimens of
Mandingo Leather work, as well as of the Native-made Cloths, Baskets, Pottery, &c.
In the first case on the left there are two very fine specimens of embroidered Native
Garments, such as are worn by chiefs. It would be difficult to give too much praise to these
cloths, produced as they are in every particular by Native industry, their fineness of texture
and excellence of colour being especially conspicuous.
An interesting exhibit is the collection of decorated and silver-mounted Ivory work, chiefly
used as personal ornaments, and in many cases engraved with verses from the “Koran.” There
are also some Gold ornaments of excellent workmanship.
Here, as in the other West African Colonies is to be found an exhibit of Native leather
work; the specimens sent by Sierra Leone, however, show very high excellence of workmanship
and considerable ingenuity in decoration, more particularly in the way in which use has been
made of interlaced straw work.
Hammocks of cotton thread, as well as of the more common grass material, are shown in
various places throughout the Court, the latter of which being remarkable as an instance of the
varied use to which its material can be put.
In addition to large and varied samples of grass cloth, a most interesting and ingenious loom
is displayed, showing the fabric in process of manufacture. The closeness of texture and light-
ness of these cloths renders them especially suitable to the hot climate of the Colony. A very
handsome and varied collection of skins is displayed to great advantage on the walia, the leopard
skin which is to a great extent made use of in the decoration of weapons, beit,g pernaps the most
conspicuous. ‘The Central Case is occupied with exhibits from the Shervrv, an outlying portion
of the Sierra Leone Settlemente, which have all been sent by Mr. Alldridge of that place.
The cloths and chiefs’ gowns in this case are particularly good specimens of Native work.
We have here, and in other cases, remarkably fine specimens of some of the most prominent
Fetishes worshipped in these parts. The most striking of these are the heads of two “ Bundoo”
devils made of cotton wood and stained by palm oil, &&. These are worn in native “ Bundoo”
ceremonies by the chief dancer or priestess. Other Fetishes are shown by the uso of which the
natives believe that life may be taken or madness caused ; others again are supposed to be
efficacious in producing rain when needed, or bringing ill-luck to an enemy, These belicfs are
20 strong tit “ Fetish” is dreaded even by educated natives.
The food and vegetable products constitute one of the chief features of this exhibit. Here
will be recognized many well-known substances, amongst which may be enumerated pepper,

palm kernel nuts, ginger and samples of several kinds of rice in various stages. Bunches of
different grasses are also shown which are used for purposes varying from the making of ropes or
building of “ Kraals” to the finer material used for weaving the cloths already referred to,
This class of exhibit is rendered complete by the classified specimens of the principal roots and
woods of the country. Curious specimens are also shown of native musical instruments and
pottery, practically the sarae as thoso exhibited in the other colonies of the West Coast.
GAMBIA.
The settlement of the Gambia lies considerably to the north of Sierra Leone, the tract of
country between the two being mostly in the hands of the natives. It is much mixed up with
the possessions of the French, who are pushing their way in all directions from their colony of
Senegambia.
The Gambia makes a good show with a varicty of Exhibits, which illustrate the
resources of the country. Tho late Administrator, Captain Moloney, C.M.G., previous to his
promotion to be Governor of Lagos, succeeded, with the assistance of an energetic Local
Committee, in forming © most valuable and interesting collection of the various articles of the
produce and industries of the neighbourhood, as well as of specimens of Natural History.
The Products are classified as follows :—
Oil producing and other Seed Roots; Samples of Coffee and Tea; Medicinal Plants;
contributed by Mr. E. Allegre, of Bathurst, Indigo. Rubber. Oils. Gums. Beeswax. Woods.
Fibre and Rope. Among these are the Verach Seeds which are used by the Natives as candles,
one nut being placed after another in such «© manner that the flame is transmitted from seed to
seed so as to give an uninterrupted light for a considerable period.
The “ Faftan” or silk tree is indigenous to the Gambia. Its leaves and roots are made use
of in medicines, and in addition to this the French manufacturer has succeeded in making some
fine cloths from the silky produce of the pods.
Another better-known plant is the “ Banhanassey ” Root or Yam, tho root of which when
‘sliced, dried, and reduced into flour is largely used for mixing with that of the native corn, and
may be said to form one of the most important food products of the Colony.
This collection is rendercd complete by exhibits of various seeds, fruits, &c., used for
medicinal and other purposes.
An elaborate display of Swords, Pouches, &c., made principally of highly-finished leather,
neatly ornamented for the most part with geometrical designs, are to be seen arranged on the
walls.
The nature of the Agricultural Implements in use in the Colony is shown in the form of a
trophy on the wall. Although somewhat crnde in form, they still show evidence of a considerable
skill in adaptation to the purposes for which they are designed.
In conclusion we may draw attention to the various exhibits of literature, for the most part
of a religious character, and sent by the various missions; as well as the cleverly-executed
models of Native craft, the wicker-work, furniture, and various carvings in wood.
The literature comprises various Testaments, Catechisms, Dictionaries, and Grammars, &c.,
in the Native language.
The Natural History Collection contains Heads of Monkeys and a Wild Boar, Horns and
Skins, Ivory Tusks, Fish preserved in bottles, and a beautiful Collection of Butterflies, Beetles.
Shells and Birds, made by the late Administrator, Captain Moloney, now Governor of Lagos, and
scientifically arranged by Captain Shelley.

THE GOLD COAST COLONY.
THE Gold Coast has been occupied in one form or another as a British Settlement since 1672,
when the Royal African Company was formed, which built several forts along the coast, and
strengthened Cape Coast Castle, which was already in existence.
This company was succeeded in 1750 by the African Company of Merchants, which was
constituted by Act of Parliament. This company was dissolved in 1821, and the forts transferred
to the Crown, and placed under the Government of Sierra Leone. This was soon followed by
the first Ashanti war, and on January 24, 1824, the Governor, Sir Charles Macarthy, was defeated
and slain, and his head carried to Coomassi. This war was cndedby a victory over the Ashantis
After this the Government of the country was again placed in the hands of a mercantile
body, which continued until the second Ashanti war in 1863. A force of West Indian troops was
then marched to the Prah, and encamped there; but the enemy never appeared, and the troops
were withdrawn after suffering great loss from sickness.
These events were followed by a rearrangement of possessions between the English and the
Dutch, which occasioned so much trouble to the latter power that, in 1871, Holland abandoned to
} Great Britain all its rights on the coast.
This convention was not approved of by the King of Ashanti, who, in December, 1872,
invaded the British Protectorate, and so commenced the third and last Ashanti war. In 1878 it
was determined to send out troops to repel the invasion, and to take Coomassi. ‘his was carried
out under Sir Garnet Wolseley, who crossed the Prah in January, 1874, and on February 4
captured Coomassi.
. After this war the Settlements on the Gold Coast, and at Lagos, were by Charter dated
24 July, 1874, united under one constitution as the Gold Coast Colony, which continued until
the present year, when Lagos has been separated from the Gold Coast, and formed into a separate
Colony.
Three cases in this Court contain a large Collection of Gold Ornaments and Jewellery
entirely of native workmanship.
Case I. shows on the one side and two ends of the fitting a collection of gold personal
ornaments of both Native and European design, manufactured expressly for the Philadelphia
Exhibition of 1876, and now exhibited by the Gold Coast Government with a view to their being
sold. Among them are excellent specimens of rings and brooches of the Zodiac pattern, which
are 60 skilfully worked by the native goldsmiths. On the other side and in Case II. are shown
the solid Gold Ornaments paid by the King of Ashanti as a portion of the indemnity claimed ut
the close of the war in 1874. It is impossible in so short a spaco to do justice to this unique and
most interesting collection of native work. It is made from the purest gold and is thoroughly
characteristic of true Native art, being free from the slightest European influence. On the walls
m there is a photograph of an African Chief, Prince Buaki, next in rank and position to the King.
He is represented in the full dress of a chief, with his various attendants about him, and
illustrates the manner in which the above jewellery is worn.
Amongst these there is also a very valuable necklace which belonged to King Koffi, and was
taken in his residence at the capture of Coomassi, and is now the property of Sir A. J. Adderley,
K.C.M.G., the Commissioner of the West Indies.
Here also is shown the Golden Fetish Axe lent by H.M. the Queen, and which was sent to
toher by the Ashantis in 1882, as a token of peace and submission when they were suspected
of having warlike intentions against the British Government.
On the table near these cases is the State Umbrella of the King of Ashanti, which was
found in the Royal Paiace of Coomassi at the capture of that town, and which forms part of Her
Majesty’s loan,

~ 602 The Gold Coast Colony.
On the walls may be secn some most interesting collections of the birds, butterilies and
other objects of the Natural History of the Gold Coast.
A most striking, and to those unacquainted with the subject of gold mining, a partioularly
interesting exhibit is the collection of specimens of “Gold in the Quartz,” shown by Megarg,
F. & A. Swanzy, and taken from the mine which was originally their private property,
A prominent feature in this Court is the large and varied collection of textiles of purely
Native workmanship. These cloths are all woven in narrow breadths on a loom, a specimen of
which is shown in this Court, and are remarkable as well for their design as for the brilliancy and
high quality of the colours, the latter being obtained by the use of vegetable dyes only, These
cloths are worn by the natives in graceful folds, Those from Ashanti, in Case V., have a
mixture of silk with them, and are very handsome and expensive.
In Case IV. there is a very fine collection of gold and silver personal ornamentg, Jent both
by Natives and persons in this country. ‘hese contain specimens both of Native and Huropean
designs. Some fine specimens of gold unggets may also claim special attention in this case, as
well as three particularly fine gold zodiac rings made especially for the present Governor of the
Colony, Mr. Brandforth Griffith, C.M.G. Among these ornaments may be found specimens of the
curious aggrey beads, which are of great value to the antiquarian, inasmuch as they are found in
the ground by the Natives, and appear to afford proof that at one time or another the Phanecians
and Egyptians had trading transactions with these countries. .'The natives value these at a
higher rate than gold, and it has hitherto proved impossible to imitate them, asthe Natives can at
once detect the difference between the true aggrey bead and its counterfeit.
Those interested in the heathen religions and worship of aboriginal tribes will find in
Case VI. a varied collection of objects and charms connected with the Fetish beliefs of ‘the Gold
Coast natives, which appear to have wa great similarity to those found in other parte of Africa,
According to Chambers (perhaps the best authority we can quote), “A Fetiah is anything in
nature or art to which a magical power is ascribed, e.g. stones, carved figures, or certain parte of
plants, animals, &c. In this general sense Fetishism coincides with the belief in charms—«
belief which is also to be found among monotheistic nations.” This definition gives a concise
description of the whole matter, and will better enable the visitor to understand the strange
collection here brought together.
Set out on the tables are to be found some interesting examples of the ingenuity shown by
Native workers in wood in the collection of carved furniture and musical instruments, amongat the
latter of which may be easily recognized crude representations of many forms familinr to
European musicians. ;
We may complete our notes on this Court by reference to the collection of vegetable products,
as well as the native pottery and basket work, which is to be seen in various parts of the Court,
There is also a good collection of the various woods of the country. Since the Exhibition wa
opened, a case containing an interesting and tasteful collection of the products of the Gold Const,
as well.as monkey and other skins, jewellery, and other articles of interest, has been contributed
by Messrs. EF. Scheoffer & Co.
Between the Courts of the Gold Coast and Lagos there isia stand of excellent photographs,

Lacos is situated on the Bight of Benin, and was in former times the headquarters of the slave
trade, which led to its occupation by a British force. In 1861, Docemo the king ceded to Great
Britain the Island and port of Lagos. The king continued to reside at Lagos with a pension of
£1000 a year until his death, which took place last year.
At first the Settlements of ‘Lagos were erected into a separate Government. In 19866 they
were amalgamated with the West Africa Settlements under the Government of Sierra Leone.
After the Ashanti war in 1874, the Gold Coast Settlements were by Charter erected into 'the
Gold Coast Colony, and by that Charter Lagos was amalgamated with it.
In the present year Lagos has been separated from the Gold Coast with a constitution of ite
own.
TheOolony of Lagos includes Badagry on the west and adjoining Dahomey ; Lagos ‘island,
lying omong lagoons in the centre ; and Palma and Leckie on the east.
The waters of Lagos, which are entered by a somewhat dangerous bar, constitute the only
safe harbour along 600 miles of coast.
The Lagos collection, in addition to its own exhibits, also contains a number of articles from
the adjoining countries near the river Niger, over a large portion of which a British Protectorate
thas been proclaimed.
Between the Gold Coast and Lagos Courts there is an interesting collection of photographs
of both these countries, giving views of various native scenes, the principal buildings and other
interosting features ofthe district.
The excellent natural harbour of Lagos will give 2 good idea of the extent of the field it
offers for commercial enterprise.
Messrs. Price & Co. exhibit 10 bottles of the various preparations of Palm Oil in the
manufacture of candles and sonp.
In the Cuses there is a varied and attractive collection of Native work.
Toking the textile fabrics first, we have excellent specimens of both weaving and embroidery.
In the centre is shown an embroidered “ tobe ” or gown, a garment worn solely by Mohammedans.
Other specimens of the same garment are exhibited; the open work of these will at once
attract attention as being exquisitely graceful in the form of ornament.
On the top shelf of Case I. are various wood-carvings and other objects, many of them
illustrative of Fetish worship, forming a collection made by the French Missionaries at Lagos.
The leather work in this case is specially good and attractive. It is first of all covered with
cloth, and then the patterns, which have been previously cut out of leather, are sewn on, forming
a.kind of open-work which is at once both effective and pleasing.
Here we have also specimens of leather personal ornaments: greatly similar, though by no
means 0 copy of ourown Scotch Sporran. These are varied both in form and decoration, no two
in any inatance being alike. A specimen of a leather ammunition-belt by a Native workman is
also exhibited.
Occupying a prominent position in this case is a wooden tablet inscribed with “Wala”
vorses from the “ Koran :” a proof of the fact that the religion of the Prophet has penetrated even
to this remote settlement.
Mr, J. Thomson, who has lately travelled as far as Sokotoo and other Niger countries for the
National African Company, exhibits among other things some views of the Central Soudan
tribes, of whom he was the first to obtain photographs during his journeys.
A handsome collection is shown of pottery and calabashes of an unusually high standard of
excellence, the burnt designs on the latter being a particularly remarkable and rare process of
ornamentation.
604 | Lagoe.
Numerous samples are shown of the Native skill in grass work; specimens ranging from
baskets to a peculiar cloth of durability and high finish.
The ingenuity of the Natives is displayed in a remarkablo manner by the manufacture of
coloured bangles out of old bottles and other glass-waste which has found its way into their
hands,
In connection with the religious observances of theso tribos, wo may draw attention to the
elaborate set of brass figures placed on the top shelf of the glasa caso. These represent a
procession of drummers and persons bringing offerings to the Fetish god “Ifa” (exhibited by
A.R. Hlliott, Esq.). Other samples of Native braes-work are tho highly ornamented staffs and
swords which are used by “ Boluguns” or war- chiefs, and other dignitaries. In the same caso
with these will be found two illuminated Korans, one of which was given too veteran Niger
explorer, Mr. James Croft, by the Sultan of Nupé, a country in tho far interior. There is also a
Mohammedan MS., which is interesting as a good example of early illuminative art; also a
calabash covered with threaded snake vertebrw, and used os an accompaniment for musical
instruments at dances; and an elephant’s tusk with 100 figures carved upon it by a native,
On one of the tables there is a curious specimen of a Fetish table from the Dahomey country,
surrounded by carved representations of the various kinds of inhabitants of those parts; also
many masks made use of in ceremonial rites, which form a curious and thoroughly characteristic
collection. In addition to the above, a basket made of cowie shells, the well-known currency of
uncivilized tribes of all parts of the world; with some Warree boards (a native game played with
seeds), may be alluded to as curiosities in closing our notice of the exhibits of this Colony.
From the District of the Niger is sent a representative collection of incised and repoussé
brass utensils, the ornamentation of which has considerable grace and beauty of design. In
addition to these, some curious specimens of ingeniously-constructed. leather bottles are shown ;
with samples of cloths and Mohammedan Tobes, which have the prevailing characteristics of the
tabrics of Central Africa. =!
Numerous specimens of the weapons and horse-armour and trappings in use among the
natives at the present time are exhibited by Mr. Thomson, tho traveller, and others; as well as
some fine tusks of ivory, both plain and artistically ornamented,

in detail of the immense progress and substantial improvements under all heads, which have 1 nN
been effected in the island from 1860 to 1886, would occupy a great deal more space than could |
be fairly allotted to them in these short prefatory remarks. i
Prominent, however, amongst these great works of improvement, we must cite the extension |
of the great harbour works, begun in 1860 under Sir Gaspard Le Marchant, and finished in
1874, which transferred the spacious French Creek into the hands of the Admiralty authorities, |
whilst it provided a safe and still larger site for the anchorage of the merchant shipping; the |
remodelling of the drainage works, by means of which the sewage, formerly carried into the i
harbour, is now discharged into the open sea; the reorganisation of the water supply, which
has already more than doubled the supply existent twenty years ago; and the immense
improvements in hygiene, which are being vigorously continued under the adiinistration of
Sir Lintern Simmons, G.C.B., the actual Governor, works which have not only restored to @falta
its reputation as one of the healthiest winter resorts in Europe, but affords in addition a practical
demonstration of the activity and energy to be met with under British rule,
‘The two islands of Malta and Gozo are very highly cultivated. Their principal products Nh
are cotton, potatoes, and corn. The vine is grown largely for the table, though very little wine
is made in the island ; but oranges and figs are in great abundance, and it would be difficult to
find in any other part of the globe, a more delicious fruit than the blood egg orange of Malta,
which ripens in the months of January and early February. The honey of Malta is proverbial HW
for its goodness and bouquet, and early crops of potatoes meet with a ready sale in Covent
Garden Market in the months of March and April.
The exhibits in the Malta Court, enumerated in thia catalogue, are indicative of the industries
of the is!end, and in the present Exhibition show a marked progress under various heads since I
the date of the London and Paris Exhibitions, at both of which the Maltese Islands and their
industries were represented. ae |
The three great specialities of the island, stone work, lace, and jewellery, form (as they did i i

Publio Works, from an original design, based upon German Renaissance met with at Heidelberg
sont out to Malta and there executed, and sent back to this country in numbered blocks, so that
it wae re-erected here in an incredibly short time, and without a flaw, is a new and great advance
in the stone-work of the island, and should be the means of promoting a brisk trade between this
country and Malta, for ornamental etone-work of this description, either for garden ornamentation
at the end of vistas, or for entrances to pleasure grounds, &c., the small cost of the work in
Malta (labour at 2¢. per day) and the facility and cheapness of the sea transport, rendering the
execution of similar ornamental stone-work in Malta based upon any designs sent out there
fiom this country, and when comploted re-sent here, far cheaper than if originally executed in
England.
In the lace manufacture (speciality No, 2) although the old designs are still to the fore, an
Art School, of late yenrs established in Valetta, has been tho menns of introducing some new and
wome very effective original designs, which are sure to meet with a very favourable reception on
the part of the British public, Whilst in the workmanship of silver filagree (apeciality No. 3)
there is.o specimen of a bird-cage which is so broadly and artistically worked, that it might be
compared and would hold its own with the finest apecimens of filagree made at Genoa,
There has been, therefore, much progress made in the handling and execution of the three great
specialities of the Island; but in addition to progressive improvement in these specialities there
are a great many “ novelties ” amongat the present exhibits, which had no existence in previous
Exhibitions, such, for instance, as the workmanship of musical instruments, of which there are
some very fine specimens of violoncellos, violins, and kettle-drums; also two models of novel
design of ship-lights; some exquisite models of ships and boats; whilst a specimen of the
Gobelin tapestry from the Council Room of the Palace of the Grandmasters, showing the state
of the tapeatry when fallen into decay, and its restoration under Sigs. Palmieri, will delight all
those who are interested in the restoration of these and such like magnificent tapestries to their
original brilliancy and colouring. A noble specimen of this latter industry—one of great difficulty

CYPRUS.
Situation.—Cyprus is the most easterly island in the Mediterranean, and with the exception
of Sicily and Sardinia it is the largest in that sea. It is only 45 miles distant from Cape
Enamour, the nearest point of Asia Minor, and 60 miles from Latikieh, the nearest point of
Syria. Its chief port, Larnaca, is 250 miles from Port Said and 300 miles from Alexandria.
Extent.—The Island is 145 miles long, and the breadth of the main body of the Island
is about 50 miles. Its superificies of arable land has been estimated as 2,500,000 acres, of which
only about a tenth part is yearly under culture.
Formation.—In general terms the Island may be described as formed of two mountainous
ranges, one to the north and the other to the south, with an extensive plain of great fertility
between them. On the southern range of mountains the most elevated peaks are—Troodos,
6590 ft.; Adelphi, 5380 ft.; and Machora, 4730 ft.; and the highest peaks on the northern
range are Saint Hilarion, 3340 ft ; Buffaventa, 3240 ft.; and Mount Elias, 2810 ft.
Climate.—The climate is not in general insalubrious, but the heat in summer is considerable.
On the hottest day in 1884 the thermometer marked a maximum heat varying from 95° to 108°
Fahrenheit in different parts of the Island on the sea level. The temperature in winter is
moderate. On the coldest day in 1884 the thermometer indicated from 21° to 40° in different
parts of the Island on the sea level. So salubrious and invigorating is the climate on the more
elevated plateaux that several regiments of British soldiers sent there last year from Suakim in a
very enfeebled condition were restored to perfect vigour after a few weeks’ residence on the
Troodos range of mountains.
Rivers.—The Island possesses no rivers of importance, and little of the water of the winter
torrents reaches the sea, being absorbed on its course by the thirsty soil.
Rainfall.—The rainfall in the Island is extremely low, ranging in a good year from 16 to 21
inches during the winter months.
Harbours.—There is no safe or commodious harbour in the Island. The works of the
ancient harbour of Famagousta are in a fair degree of preservation ; but the inner harbour itself,
covering a space of about 80 square acres, is eo filled with siltings that it is now only available
for vessels of 100 to 150 tons burden. It is at present proposed to make a port at Kyrenia on the
north side of the Island.
History.—Cyprus is referred to in the Book of Genesis (x. 4) under the name of “ Kittim,”
and we are there informed that its inhabitants belonged to the Aryan family of nations, deecen-
dants of Japheth.
It was conquered by Thothmes III. of Egypt about s.c. 1600, but on the decline of the
Rgyptian dynasty regained its independence a few centuries later. About B.c. 725 the Island
became subject to Assyria, and history informs us that it was then divided into nine kingdoms.
Its allegiance was transferred to the Persian successors of the Assyriangkings. About 3c. 568:
the Island was again made subject to Egypt under Amasis. About sc. 521 the Cypriotes
espoused the cause of Cambyses, King of Persia, and assisted him in his successful invasion of
Egypt. From that time till Persia was conquered by Alexander the Great, the Island continued
- toform part of the fifth division of the Persian Empire. In 3.c. 310 Cyprus was attached to the:
Ptolemaic kingdom of Egypt, and remained so connected until it was annexed to the Roman
Empire in 8.0. 57, Thus at the time of Our Lord Cyprus formed part of the Roman Empire. It
was the birthplace of Barnabas the Apostle, and was visited by him and St. Paul in the early
(ays of the Christian Church.
When the Roman Empire became divided into the Empires of the West, with Rome sa its
capital, and of the East, with Constantinople as its capital, Cyprus was connected with the Empire
of the Enst or Byzantine Empire.
In a.p. 1191 Richard Cour de Lion, King of England, when on his way to the Holy Land
conquered the Ieland of Oyprus. The nuptials of the English King with Berengaria of Navarre
pA EET ANAT A LO TO
510 Cyprus.
were celebrated at Limasal in Cyprus, on the 12th of May, 1191, the Archbishop of York there
placing the crown of England on the head of the Princess.
Impatient to proceed to the Holy Land, Richard Coour de Lion sold the Island to the Knights
Templars for 100,000 besants d’or, a sum whose relative value in our day has been calculated to
be £320,000. The Knights Tomplars were, however, unable to keep the Island in subjection,
and after a few years’ possession they requested Richard to take it back. This the English
monarch did, and gave it to Guy de Luzignan, a French Crusader, who had assisted him in the
eonquest of the Island. Cyprus was ruled by Guy de Luzignan and his descendants until
4.D. 1489, when Catherine Cornaro, the widow of Jacques: II., the last of the Luzignan kings,
abdicated the throne of Cyprus in favour of the Venetian Republic.: The city of Famagousta had
been wrested from the Luzignan King Pierre II. in a.p. 1376,. by the Genoese, and remained a
eolony of that commerciol republic until a.p. 1264, when it waa reconquered by Jacques II.
In A.D. 1571, in the reign of Sultan Selim II., Cyprus was enlyenes by: the Turks, and
remained part of the Ot‘oman Empire from that time.
In 1877 the Island was ceded by Sultan Abdul Hamid to Queen Victoria, i in-consideration of
an annual payment equivalent to the surplus revenues which it had : slates to the Ottoman
treasury in the preceding five years.
In virtue of this cession Cyprus is now administered as a British Colony.
Population—In ancient times the Island of Cyprus is reputed to have hud @ population
of 3,000,000 of souls. In the reigns of the Roman Emperors Cesar Augustus and Vespasian, the
Island suffered greatly from earthquakes, and from about that period its prosperity and population
began to decline, In the fourth century of our era Cyprus was afflicted by drought during
seventeen consecutive years, and became nearly depopulated. In the seventh and eight centuries
the Island was repeatedly devastated by Arab invasions under the Caliphs,
After the conquest by the Turks in 1571, the population of Cyprus is said to have fallen to
80,000 souls. The greater tolerance, which began to characterise the Ottoman administration
under Sultan Mahmomd improved the lot of the Cypriotes, and since then the population has
steadily increased. Ata census taken in 1881, it was ascertained that the present population of
the Island amounts to 186,173, thus sub-divided :—
137,631 of the Greek religion.
45,458 Mahommedans.
3,084 various religions,
Products.—The fertility of the soil was proverbial in ancient times. In the rich plain of the
Mesgoria the yield in a good year reaches 40 bushels of barley or 25 bushels of wheat per acre,
without other manuring than the fertilizing deposits left by the winter torrents.
The produets are very varied, of which the most important. are grain of all kinda, sesame,
linseed, wine, silk, madder roots, locust beans (caroubs),and cotton,
Grain.—Of wheats and barley the finest are known as those of Lefca. They weigh about
62 Ibs, per bushel for wheat, and 47 lbs. per bushel for barley. The ordinary qualities weigh
from 56 to 58 Ibs. per buehel for wheat, and 43 to 45 lbs, per bushel for barley. The wheats of
Cyprus are all hard wheats, and in general smallin grain, Their value is depreciated in foreign
markets from the defective system of threshing them out. That system is the same which was
followed in patriarchal times, The grain, when brought from the fields, is spread about six
inches deep on the threshing floor, which is simply: a level. piece of hard ground, A flat board of
wood, into the lower surface of which small pieces of flint are inserted, is drawn over the grain by
horses or bullocks during several days, the grain being turned daily.’ This process of trituration
not only separates the grain from the ears, but reduces the straw to broken sections. In the
process, however, small stones detach themselves from the surface of the threshing floor and mix
with the grain. Being about the same in size and weight as the graiu, no ordinary fanners can
separate them, and the presence of these small stones depreciates the grain: for the use of millers
Some yeura ago au engincering firm. in'England (Messrs. Brown. & May), constructed a threshing
. «d cutting machine, intended not only to separate the grain from the ears, but also to tear up the
straw in a manner similar to that effected by the native system. It, seemed to prumise most
favourable results, but its working was defective. Tho perfecting of such. a machine would
confer a great boon upon agriculturists, not only in Cyprus, but also in Asia Minor and Syzis,

of machinists in England, as the sale of a really satisfactory machine might be large both in
Oyprus:and Asia Minor.
Seeds.—The sesame and linseed grown in Cyprus are both of good quality, the linseed being
considered equal to that of Bombay. '
Wine.—The grapes are of exceptionally good quality, and very moderate in price. Their
culture is yearly increasing, and more care is being devoted to the preparation of the wines
produced. Until recent years the wines were all prepared in jars, which, to make them resist
during the process of fermentation, were besmeared with tar, This communicated a disagreeable
taate to the wines, but wooden canks are now being extensively used instead of besmeared jars,
and the wines are thereby made more marketable. A great variety of qualities are exhibited at
the tasting bar of the Cyprus Court, to which the attention of wine merchants is especially
invited. The Cyprus common wines are reported to be rich in colour and full in bedy, qualities
which, combined with cheapness, render them especially useful for mixing. ‘fhe wines known
as Commanderia have always enjoyed a high reputation on the Continent. They are most
strengthening and sweet in flavour.
The export of wine in 1884 was about 1,500,000 gallons, of which fully two-thirds went to
Egypt and Turkey.
Silka.—The silks of Cyprus are remarkable for their strength. Those of Paphos are
| guperior in this quality to all the silks of the Mediterranean and Asia Minor. and for many years
have been specially used iu France in the making of gold and silver laces. ‘The cocoons are less
| pointed than elsewhere, which greatly facilitates their recling. Six pounds weight of cocoons
. will yield one pound of silk thread. The industry has suffered greatly from the disease which
| attacked some years ago. all the silkworms of the Levant; but there are indications that the
{ disease is diminishing in virulence, and hope that this industry, so profitable, especially to the
women of the island, may again be of importance.
The attention of English manufacturers of god and silver lace, and of all objects where
great strength in the silk employed is required, is especially invited to the samples submitted of
silk cocoons, of silk thread, and manufactured silks.
Madder Roote.—The culture of this root was, up to 1873, very considerable, and of great
F profit to agriculturists. It was largely used in the dyeiug of Turkey red yarns, which, indeed,
| probably got their name from this root being first imported into England from Cyprus and
Smyrna. The diseovery of extracting similar coloured dyes from minerals has seriously decrensed
| the demand for madder roots during the past thirteen ycars; but it is beginning to be found
S that, although less expensive, these mineral dyes are greatly inferior in fastness to those
| produced from madder roots, and the latter are being more sought after. Should this improve-
| ment in the demand continue, the culture may be expected to resume its former importance.
Locust Beans.—This article is the fruit of the caroub tree. Its production has greatly
increased in reeent years, stimulated by an increasing demand, especially ‘or England. It is
largely used in the manufacture of food for cattle, and a variety of other parposes. The bean
contains a large quantity of saccharine matter, and is consequently very nutritious. Low freights
have also much encouraged the trade in tho article, enabling shippers to sell it at moderate prices.
The caroubs of Limassol and Lefcara are the finest in quality, and obtain relatively higher prices
than those of Kyrenia.
The exports of caroubs from the island in 1884 amounted to 30,000 tons, of which about a
half came to England.
Cotton—The cotton produced in the island is of good colour and strong, but rather short in
fibre. During the civil war in the United States of America, seeds from that country were
introduced and succeeded perfectly. Some of their produce was classed as nearly middling
Orleans in quality, but these foreign seeds have deteriorated, and require to be renewed.
In 1884 the export of cotton amounted to 1,400,000 lbs.
Fruites.—In fruits, the produce of the island is very varied, and of good quality. We have
already referred to grapes. Pomegranates are exceptionally fine in quality, and the export is
considerable to Egypt.‘ Figs are abundant, but inferior to those of Smyrna. Oranges and
lemons aro abundant, and of excellent quality, Apricots are exceptionally good. Melons
cherries and almonds may also be specially mentioned.
512 Cyprus.
Minerals.—Oyprus in ancient times was celebrated for its copper and silver mines, and
their sites are indicated by extensive mounds of scoriae. Asbestos is first mentioned in con-
nection with Cyprus, where veils for the theatre were made of that mineral, and said to have
been cleaned by being passed through fire. Samples of copper, coal, and asbestos will be
found amongst the exhibits.
' Drawbacks to Agrioulture.—The two great drawbacks to the agricultural prosperity of the
island have been drought and locusts; but, thanks to active measures adopted by the British
Administration in recent years, both of these impediments are in the fair way of removal.
Drought.—Under former administrations, the diminution of forests in the island from the
ravages of goats and a wasteful destruction of trees for the extraction of pitch, was permitted
to an alarming extent, and vast tracts which possessed rich wooding a century ago have .
become absolutely destitute of trees. To this circumstance the insufficiency in rainfall may be
surely attributed. The British Administration of the island five years ago adopted stringent
measures to prevent these evils, and is in process of forming the forests into blocks, which will
be protected seriatim, during such time as is required for the growth of the young trees to
a certain height. The most favourable results of this system are already apparent, and in a few
years it may certainly be expected that the wooding in the island will be quadrupled.
Locusts.—For many centuries the island has suffered severely from the scourge of locusts.
Under the enlightened administration of His Excellency Said Pasha, they were nearly extir-
pated in 1870; but immediately previous to and for the first two years of the British occupation,
nothing was done to keep in check the natural increase of this plague. When it is said that
locusts multiply annually in the ratio of eighty from one, it may easily be imagine the disastrous
results of this neglect during a period of five or six years. During the past four years, however,
energetic measures have been taken by the island administration, and after untiring efforts,
although at a cost of £67,000, it may again be said that the locusts are so greatly reduced in
number that they present no longer a serious menace to agriculture. The systems adopted in
their destruction were similar to those pursued in 1870, namely, the destruction of the eggs,
and capturing the locusts while on the march by an ingenious device invented by the Chev.
Richard Mattei, O.M.G., a large landed proprietor in the island. This last ingenious device is
fully explained in a report of Mr. Samuel Brown, M.L.C., C.E., Director of Public Works in
the island, and in his printed pamphlet sold in the Exhibition. Specimens of the cloths and traps
used are also exhibited in the Cyprus Court of this Exhibition. From the measures adopted
for the removal of the two great impediments from which agriculture has suffered in the
past, viz., drought and locusts, a great increase in the productive wealth of the island may be
surely predicted.
Adininistration.—The Island of Cyprus is administered, under the Colonial Office, by a High
Commissioner, assisted by a Legislative Council “composed of 18 members, 6 of whom are
public officers appointed by the Crown, and 12 are elected by the people. Of the 12 elective
members, 8 are elected by the Mahometans and 9 by the non-Mahometan inhabitants, these
numbers being based on the respective numbers of Mahometans and non-Mahometans as
revealed by the ccrsus taken in 1881.”
Revenue and “xpenditure.—The following is 1 summary of the Revenue and Expenditure
as compiled from papers submitted to Parliament :—

Surplus Revenue—Under the terms of the Convention of the 4th of June, 1878, between
Her Britannic Majesty and His Imperial Majesty the Sultan, in reference to Cyprus, it was
ugreed that the amount of the average surplus revenue, after deduction of expenditure, which
was received from Cyprus by the Ottoman Treasury duriog the five years preceding the British
eccupation of the Island was to be paid annually to the Sublime Porte by the British Govern-
ment. This average surplus revenue was ascertained to amount to Piastres 11,121,952, but their
equivalent in sterling does not appear to have been yet established between the two Governments.
The equivalent has however been estimated to represent in sterling £87,800.
By a subsequent agreement the British Government consented to pay a further sum of £5000
per annum to His Imperial Majesty the Sultan in consideration of the abandonment of certain
Crown lands,
Consequently the Treasury of the Island of Cyprus is burdened annually with a payment
due to the Sublime Porte which is estimated to represent £92,800. To face this payment the
average annual excess of revenue over expenditure during the past six years has only amounted
to about £50,000, and the difference has to be made good by the British Government. , There is,
however, a fair prospect of the excess of revenue over expenditure more nearly approximating in
the future the monetary obligations to the Sublime Porte.
Trade,—The following is a resamé of the total of Imports and Exports during the past six
years :—~

Together
Of the import trade about 30 per cent. is made direct with the United Kingdom, but there
is besides a large indirect import trade in British goods through Turkey. Of the export trade
about 25 per cent. is with the United Kingdom, and the proportion is steadily increasing.

THE FALKLAND ISLANDS. -
Tux Falkland Islands, consisting of the East and West Falkland and about 100 other email
ixlands, are situated in the South Atlantic Ocean, between 51° and 58° south latitude and between
57° and 62° west longitude. Mount Adam, the highest ground in the Colony, rises 2,915 feet
above the level of the sea. .
These islands were discovered by Davis, in 1592, and visited by Hawkins in 1594, In 1763
they wore taken possession of by France ; subsequently they were held by the Spaniards until
1771, when they were for a time given up to Great Britain. In 1820 the Republic of Buence
Ayres established,a settlement in these islands which was destroyed by the Americans in 1831,
In 1833 they were taken possession of by the British Government for the protection of the whale
fishery, and colonized, and from that time to the present so continued, being as a whole the most
southerly organized of the colonies of the British empire.
The climate is healthy and temperature equable, the thermometer ranging from 80° to 80° in
winter, and from 40° to 65° in summer, during which season the atmosphere is remarkably dry
and the evaporation rapid. The winds rise at about 10 a.m. and fall away again between 4 and
5 p.m., during middle day often amounting to a gale. The soil is chiefly peat, but near the
surface where the clay is of a lighter quality aud mixed with vegetable remains, it is good soil
fit for cultivation. Stone of two or three kinds suitable for building is found in different parts
of the islands.
Rabbits, snipe, geese, wild duck, dotterel, teal, harcs, wild cattle, horses and pigs, are to he
found here in large quantities, the tussac grass, which grows to a height of 7 feet, with a breadth
of $ inch, being very fattening for cattle. Sheep have been introduced and found to do well, the
weol being of an excellent quality, realizing a high price in London markets, The exports
consist of wool, hides, horns, hoofs, bones, and tallow.
The Government is administered by a governor, aided by an executive and legislative
council, the members of both councils being appointed by the Crown.
The tonnage of vessels entered in 1884 was 33,086, including men-of-war and steamers.

(PATENT.)
THE INVENTION OF COLONEL FOSBERY, V.C.
Shooting Shot like a perfect Gun and Conical Bullets up to 100 yards, with the accuracy
of an Express Rifle, made with Re-bounding Locks or Hammerless,
The following remarkable Diagrams made before the Editor of “ The Field,” April 12th, 1886 :—
Ileal Bullets, ‘ Conical Bullets,
100 Fares. 10 Shots. a A needs 60 Yards, 10 Shots.

Invaluable to Sportsmen in INDIA. With a 460 Express Rifle and a
“Paradox” Gun a man is fully-armed for Game from Snipe to Tiger.
Extract froma Letter fromthe Hon.H.8.FINCH-HATTON, Apr. 10,1886:
“On the 3rd instant, I myself shot and tested your new ‘ Paradox’ Gun, with the following extraordinary
results :—4 shots at 60 vards and 4 at 100 yards, all 8 shots being clean inside a 3-inch Bull’s-eye. With 1gth ounces
No. 6 Shot at 40 yards, a beautifully regular pattern, averaging 175 on the 30-inch circle was obtained. No
Sporteman need be told of the astonishment with which I witnessed the results recorded above, nor of the
inestimable value of such a weapon to those who follow sport in countries where large and small game are met
with in one day. It is in the interest of these latter that 1 give this 1ecord of - my personal experience
of the ‘ Paradox’ Gun.”
Extract from a Letter from J. TURNER-TURNER, Esq., Apri! 11,1886 :
‘* Having witnessed the shooting of your new ‘Paradox’ Gun,I am of opinion that it far excels anytbing
of the sort yot invented. 8 Shots with conical ball, at 50 and 100 yards respectively, were within a 3 and 4-inch
bull’s-eye with great penetration, and the shooting with shot was all thut one could wish.”
The above results were obtained from our NEW DOUBLE-BARRELLED
** PARADOX” GUN, 12-BORE, having the same appearance and weight as
an ordinary 7lb. 12-Bore Shot Gun.

of 10,000 Glow-Lights, with a number of Arc Lamps.
These Lights are distributed on various parts of the Buildings
and Grounds, and a portion of the Arc Lights are used for Illumi-
nating the Fountains with ever-changing Colours and Effects.
The whole of these arrangements have been designed by Col. SIR

are fixed in the Building adjoining the Canadian Machinery Court,
and either Engine, with its pair of Dynamos, is complete in itself,
and is capable of giving the current required for 5,000 Glow
Lamps.
Steam for driving these Engines is supplied by the Galloway:

is placed in the West Quadrant, and this provides the current:
for the Arc Lamps.and Fountain Illumination. This Engine is.
driving two F3 6-pole pattern 40 unit Compound wound Victoria. Delive
Brush Dynamos.
Messrs. GALLOWAY, in designing the above Engines and Plant,. THE
have specially considered the advisability of having Engines for
Blectric Light Installations of more substantial construction than.
have hitherto been generally adopted, knowing that the success
of Electric Installations primarily depends upon having Engines
equal to the requirements, and of such a character as to give a
permanently satisfactory result. ’

of last ‘year’s Exhibition, consisting of three large size Siemen’s
100 unit Dynamos, each driven by triple-cylinder Engine,, algo
stands in the Quadrant and can be made use of as required:.
